So I'm getting my exhaust / cats installed today, and the shop calls me. Said there's no gasket for the cats to the down pipe. So I call FI and they said to use red RTV (and that it's in the instructions-which the shop obviously hasn't read). Call the shop back and tell them to read the instructions. They call me back about 10 minutes later and say they're not comfortable just using the RTV. I did convince them that there are A LOT of these out there, and I can't ever remember reading of an issue. They're saying it will leak.

I'm asking here becasue I don't know much about all this. And it's a reputable shop - they work on mostly classics (jags and maseratis) and European exotics-my 370Z was the cheapest car in the shop - by half.

Anyone else ever run into issues with this and their installer?
