I was told that if i use the gaskets that Berk supplied with the exhaust, they will blow out and i should us all OEM gaskets.

The OEM gaskets are a smaller inner diameter than the Berk exhaust.

Question #1: Is the story about the non-OEM gaskets blowing out true, or horse sh*t?

Question #2: If i use a gasket with a slightly smaller diameter than the inside of the piping, will it affect performance and/or sound?

Thanks!
