[DeTomaso] exhaust gasket for Hall big bore

[Dave McManus]

BIG BORE GASKETS:

Big Bore exhaust to header.

NAPA part number 31 381 about $9.00 ea.

Gasket has about a ¼” steel ring (inside of the “donut”) that extends out of
one side of the donut. Works well.

Does anyone have advice for the gasket at the header-to-exhaust pipe
interface, from a Hall big bore to a stock exhaust pipe?   The SOBill data
base says Fel-Pro 2014, with a 2 1/2 inch ID.   This looks fine for the
stock exhaust section.   But the Hall output is a flare or bell shape, with
only a lip for a flat surface, and barely reaches to 2 1/2 width by my rough
measurement.   There would be very little, if any, gasket under the flared
lip.
Or do you use a "donut" gasket, like Steve Wilkinson lists?
thanks
