I just got my 3" stainless system from Jason over at Enthuza. That whole process was probably one of the best from any vendor I've dealt with.
Anyway, the 3" cat is flanged (BEGi is reflanging my 1.6 DP for a 3" flange), but neither the BEGi kit nor the converter came with the 3" gaskets.
Jason indicated using red RTV on the mating surfaces in lieu of a gasket, but I have concerns about putting a silicone product that close to my wideband O2 sensor.
What would you do?

Look around for Mr. Gasket #5960 exhaust gasket material. It's a 10"x10" piece of 1/16" fiber-impregnated-steel material which you can cut to size to make your own exhaust gasket.
Here's one source: Amazon.com: Mr. Gasket 5960 Ultra Seal Exhaust Gasket: Automotive
Here's a list of all of the various Mr. Gasket products in this range: Mr. Gasket :: Products

I'm liking this copper RTV idea. The gaskets on my car never want to sit properly and are always a pain in the *** to deal with. Especially the single o-ring gasket at the exhaust manifold, maybe I can get around that with some of this stuff.. I never realized they made an RTV that wouldn't ignite like a torch under exhaust heat.
