Hi Pascal,

I bought both the muffler and the SS J-pipe from Stebro.  Fiber
gaskets were (are?) recommended for any SS joint.  So I needed
one fiber gasket for the collector to J-pipe joint , one for the J to
Cat joint, and one between the Cat and muffler.  If you only have
the muffler you are in much better shape and you can't damage your
catalytic converter with gasket bits the way mine was.
