Blueflame cat back gasket query

[arge]

So fitted my blueflame cat back this evening on one of the ramps at work, which was a doddle !

Thrilled to bits with it, quality seems spot on, fitment was easy and it looks and sounds awsome !

Anyway i have a quick query...

Where the origonal cat joins the blueflame there is a gasket, this gasket is sized to fit the hole in the cat and the origonal rear section (2.5 or 2.75" ?).

Where I have fitted the 3" blueflame, this gasket hole was too small.

Now, I have fitted it all for now using this gasket but i guess my query is where can i get a 3" hole gasket ?

I know what ppl are going to say... "If the gasket it the same size as the cat bore then it wont be causing a restiction"

This would be true but when refitting it seemed the gasket was actually slightly smaller and I just want to remove this potential restriction.

anyone else come across this when fitting a 3" cat back ?

Thanks

We dont use anything but clear silicone sealant in the flanges.

we fit many blue flame systems at work and never used any gaskets.

blueflame themselves said they dont use anything

Where can i get this silicone sealant ?

I take it its not your bog standard sealant, must be heat proof

we use just normal silicone bathroom stuff it just seals up the joints and sets then its sorted

wow really, didnt know bathroom sealant was up to the task of a super hot exhaust !

Oh well, can't argue if thats whats been used many times bafore.

Thanks !

RTV silicone would be better,
