You guys had me in a small panic! I went and looked at my stock cats laying in the garage and sure enough, the o-ring gaskets are still attached to them. So I was thinking 'oh great, I'm missing gaskets between my HFCs and cat-back'. But then I called my mechanic and he reminded me that with the Berks, the pipe is flush with the flange; it doesn't protrude out past the flange like it does on the stock cats. Hence there's nowhere to even mount o-rings, as they slide over the small bit of pipe that protrudes out past the flange on the stock cats. Phew!
