Quick Question on Exhaust Gaskets
i have had my 8 for a while and bought it used. It has developed a slight exhaust leak, and it has an aftermarket midpipe on it. I'm not sure what brand, and I am wondering which gaskets I need to fix it. The consensus is saying to use the factory donuts, but when I'm under the car, it looks like it is using flat-style gaskets.
Before I get under the car and find out the hard way which gaskets I need, does someone have any idea what I need or where to get the aftermarket style?
Thanks!

It really depends on which gasket is faulty, and where exactly the leak is at.
The gasket used between mid-pipe and downpipe is called donut gasket, u may also need to buy the springs and bolts for that.
The other gasket is typical flat gasket that's used in the rear where midpipe's other end meets the muffler pipe.
Find out where the leak is at though, it may not even be the gaskets.
