Default Turbonetics downpipe to stock muffler gasket

Question,

For those of you that have the Turbonetics kit, did you use a gasket between the downpipe and the muffler, or just bolt it up right out of the box?

I ask because I did my installation, and I have an exhaust leak coming from that spot. I was just curious if I didnt tighten it enough or if I need to go get a gasket for it.

If its just a question of not being tight enough...I'll just bring my gorilla on it.

Thanks in advance

Not sure on the specifics of the kit, but you should have some sort of sealing device on all exhaust connections. If you don't feel like buying a gasket for it, just get some high temp silicone (orange) and put some on your finger and smear it on there and you should be good.
