why does AAM not send upper gaskets with the test pipes?

a large part of the reason my Z is having such horrible rasp with the bassani exhaust is probably because i followed the instructions sent with the test pipes and used the copper gasket spray instead of getting the gaskets. that stuff didn't work.
anyone know where i can buy the gaskets for the top of the test pipe (where it connects to the header) that fit an HR?

if you have nothing but useless bullsh*t to say in attempt to make someone look like they are stupid, you have no business commenting on the subject. VQ35HR catalytic converters use only a thin ring as a gasket on the triangular flange. on the aam test pipes, there is no way to reuse it. if it was that easy, i would have done it.
there is no personal matter in this, i'm just trying to find useful info

i used my the stock rings for my Fast intentions test pipes. and have no leaks. you need to tape the ring well on the header so its stays in the same place and just be carefull not to move it as your putting on the test pipe.
