Wow very nice wrap job, I guess I should have clarified that it is not the kind of job possible for a decent amount of money, between the heat wrap and the time we would have to charge about 300 bucks, probably not worth it to many so I didn't try to sell the job specially since it was coated already.

I used the ones from Berk in my install. There's no way that interface is supposed to be gasket-less. It's two pipes mating at a flat junction with 3-bolt flanges, there's no overlap or slipfit involved.

There is a protrution of the cats into the headers. I specifically asked Stillen if there were any gaskets that should have come with either the headers or cats and he said that they just bolt up without one, so we moved on.

No sweat we will figure it out, lesson learned is to double check even if the manufacturer of the product tells you it is ok, I should have gone with my gut feeling and not settled for explanation.
