any substitutes for gaskets on y-pipe?

i got y-pipe and i would like to install tomorrow but being that warspeed is re****youlously slow with their deliveries i won't be able to get a little a$$ gasket till who knows when...i did order by phone 2 weeks ago and although they say it is being sent and only takes 2-4 days, my planning is totally off cause of this....good company but as we already knew...their deliveries suck due to their massive business....

anyway, not to bad mouth them (they cool)...is there any substitute for gaskets just in case they don't deliver to me until i turn 22...i'm going to take my y-pipe to meineke or something and maybe they can just put it on with something they have? what can i do?

when I was at Midas muffler, they had tons of gaskets and crush rings in the back so maybe they can find the appropriate sized crush rings for ya. I reused my cat gaskets a few times without any problems so I wouldnt worry about those ones.

try Midas first... when u bolt it back up u mite wana use some silicone or something to hold the ring in place when u bolt it back up.. if it slips a bit and u bolt back up and crush it wrong... say hello to an ANNOYING exhaust leak

any crush seals that are the right diameter would work fine... Nissan just charges hella for theirs but u know they fit

about the welding, couldnt you tell Warpspeed about it? if not it shouldnt cost much to have it shut... 20 bucks?
