I'm trying to install a Magneflow catalytic converter onto a new set of JBA headers. The cat, Y-pipe, and headers were all supposed to be stock replacement fit. I found that the JBA headers have a rounded flange where they meet the Y-pipe whereas the original manifolds had a flat flange. The new header to Y-pipe gaskets that came with the cat are the stock style and don't fit into the rounded flanges on the new headers. I took out the metal insert that came with the gasket, and I can get the gasket to slip into place, but as I tighten the flange bolts it slides to the side. I'm sure it will leak if I try to use this gasket on that flange.
Here are some pictures. The first is the old manifold with the new gasket. The second is the new Y-pipe, which is the same style as the old Y-pipe. The third is the new header. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get this to bolt up and seal?
