Default re-using donut gasket on exhaust.

Hello just had a quick question, will i be able to re-use my donut gasket coming from the end of the header to the beginning of the cat, im replacing this with a test pipe and i bought new o-ring gasket for the opposite side of the testpipe, going to the rest of the exhaust. i dont want to buy the donut gasket from honda cause they are charging 20 something dollers and no parts stores around here can get it. any input will help thanks.

Yeah you can reuse that donut gasket as long as it looks good.

ok cool, car only has 50k on it, i was assuming that donut gasket would be good, now do u think the other gasket will be efficent this gasket is only 1 week old,the gasket that crushes inbetween the cat and the rest of the exhaust? this was only 7 bucks so its not that bad. but i will try re-using the donut gasket, i have work off wednesday so i plan on doing this.thanks for your help.

I believe the gasket between the cat and the catback exhaust should be replaced after it has been crushed. Might still seal but I would personally get a new one.

^You could also use a flat gasket made out of a universal exhaust gasket sheet. Just use the flange as a template.
