Default Exhaust leak on 98 civic

I have a 98 civic dx with megan header. I know there junk buy leveled the flanges before I installed them. Anyways. The donut gasket connecting the header to my stock exhaust seems too big. Anyone have any advice. I think I'm supposed to get a oem Honda 2.25 donut buy idk if that would work. Especially since I tried the stock one on my car. Idk if there diff though.

d16y7 just try a stock gasket . if it won't fit over the header pipe you could try and shave out the inside to make it fit or try a local exhaust shop maybe they can match 1 up for you.

Get a cheap caliper/vernier scale. Measure the outside diameter of the pipe where the doughnut slides on. Go to a parts store and tell them you need a doughnut with an inner diameter of whatever it you measured.
