Need Gasket P/N or Substitue for Efini Y-Pipe to Crossover Pipe (which leades to IC)

I have a paper gasket I need to replace...

It comes from teh Top of the Efini Y-pipe and sits in between the top of the y-pipe and the crossover pipe. The stock y-pipe doesn't use a gasket, the efini Y-Pipe does.

I have a paper gasket sitting there that I need to replace.

If it works,..it works.

BUT you risk the chance that some of the silicone might one day break off and end up clogging a vacuum line which in turn will cause boost abnormalities that will be a PITA to diagnose.

w00t

I just threw on some blue RTV from Napa since I had it laying around.

Anyway, I'll let it dry for a couple hours and then run it later tonight. I'll see if it fixed my leak ;p

No, it goes between the flanges. Thats one of the upside of the pipe replacment is that you no longer need to would a silicon coupler there. That coupler is know the rip and leak boost due to it placment in the hot engine bay.
