Leaking exhaust
I suspect I have a small leak in my exhaust, where the LHS 4-into-one manifold meets the next section. These two sections are joined with a (sort of) triangular, three-bolt flange. Currently, there is a simple, thin flat triangular disc between the two flanges. Should I replace this with a crushable gasket? Is this a Porsche part or a generic part? Is there also a “donut” between the two flanges as well? If there is, should this also be replaced and is it a Porsche or generic part? Do you guys use exhaust paste in conjunction with seals / gaskets?

No paste. No donut.
I use Porsche gaskets, but generic would probably be okay if you can find the right size to fit.

I cut my own gasket out of a sheet of exhaust gasket material given to me by an exhaust shop. No leaks.
