    Good morning everyone! I hope you guys can help.

    I have a mk2 with ABF and have the downpipe like the one on the right of the photo (courtesy of toyotec):

    I have a decat like the below:

    And I have a gasket like so:

    Now because the downpipe seems to have the lip on it, I cant mount it flat face-to-face on the flanges. I also cant really see how this gasket can be used with it.

    Am I being really silly? Can someone advise please?
