1. It's not going to be bright silver unless you polish it

2. You need the gaskets to make a good seal.

3. You don't have to clean the inside, it'll burn/pass after the car is ran.

you can get a gasket set from you dealer's parts department also. It consists of two metal crush rings and a flexible metal plate for the cat junction.
