to fix exhaust leak

i have a 2000 5speed fed spec max. i bought a wps y pipe and budget b. anyway, i hear a leak in my exhaust everytime i turn on my car. i went to advanced auto to buy a gasket, and all they had was this ring. is this any good? and will this fit with my aftermarket pieces? also, will one regular nissan gasket be good enough for each connection? like.... one for muffler-b. another for b-cat, and another for cat-y. will i need just 3? thanks for comments.....

i know that the one's that are on the cat are good metal gaskets, there should be a problem with those. i had to go and get a 2 bolt flange gasket for 2.5" pipe. i told the guy what i needed, he didn't know what i was talking about so i asked him to look at their stock to find one. i did and it works great. i'll see if i can get the part # on it for you tomorrow. i left it at the shop.

andyman: Do you have a stock exhaust after the B-pipe? I just bought a Warp y and Budget B. Can you tell me how it sounds? I'm a little worried since the Budget B-pipe only has a 14" resonator. I have a Greedy muffler that I'll be using with this setup.

Thanks

hey man i'm sorry i threw away the wrapper for the gasket. go to any of your parts store and ask for a 2 bolt exhaust flange gasket. if they look at you like your stupid, ask them if you could look yourself. then just get one that looks like it will fit. that's what i did here and it works like a charm, no leaks.
