... a Fel-Pro #60641, fits Mazda 2.3l, 3.0l from 1985-1995. This is the ring gasket (doughnut) I used between the worn flex pipe and the new stainless Fox exhaust I mentioned installing eight years ago or so. The flange on the flex pipe does get worn, and that fit is where the noise / leak can come from.
Two years ago, when installing a new Starla flex pipe, the doughnut was still intact, but not needed due to a better fit at the joint.
Ttyl,
John
PS previously tried a Fel-Pro #60385, fits Opel 4 1.8l '76-'79, but it didn't seal quite as well as the aforementioned model.
