I'm really sorry to hear that. Best of luck with everything, and please excuse my previous sarcasm.

I was actually about to go back and edit my post to let you know that I think I might have a spare donut in the garage. I'll go check, and if I do, just PM me your shipping info and I'll get it mailed out for you.

Turns out I do have one and it's in pretty good shape. It's the stock 2" one, so if thats the kind you need, let me know and I can have it in the mail tomorrow.

Edit: Reading is fundamental. I was picturing the header/cat joint, not the one you're actually referring to. Oops.

well, gasket installed. I used about 10 layers of alum foil and it seems to seal pretty tight lol. I dont hear any raspy exhaust leak noises. well see if it last since Im about to go drive about 30miles
