Not the typical Y-pipe question. (Budget Y-pipe)

After installing my budget Y-pipe I'm having trouble remembering if the downpipe (that connects to the cat) had a gasket or a crush ring.
I think it had a crush ring. Does anyone remember? Also what size is the crush ring?

Thanks.

Hmph.... I swore it had a crush ring there. Do you happen to remember the size of it? 2.5 inches I thought.

Thanks

Like Miasma said, it's a gasket between the y-pipe/cat. You may be thinking of the crush rings between the exhaust manifold/y-pipe junctions. It's either 2.25" or 2" dia.

See pics of gaskets/crush rings at Greg Prete's homepage I can't seem to cut & paste the link directly. Drill down under 1999 Maxima, Nissan Parts List and Exhaust Parts.
