Yah use that ******* thing from jegs. Also I recommend gaskets at the flanges where ur midpipe connexcts to ur downpipe and exhaust. I had a huge leak at those flanges since I was runninh gasketless. Order up some crush gaskets while u order ur jegs clamp. The smell is the joy of running catless. I hope u r using launch control or flat shift to make that poluution and 1 piddly extra hp of powar worthwhile. Launch control and flat shift willl get you instalaid by all the buttsexers

Well, I actually had the exhaust welded at the downpipe to midpipe connection. The only gasketless spot I have right now is where the downpipe connects to the turbo. Would it be worthwhile to have a gasket for right there?

For a gasket, if you want to be uber DIY and a cheapass get that and cut your own. Or save time and get this:
RallySportDirect.com - Remflex Generic 3" Exhaust Gasket 2 Bolt
Or one like it.

Huh? Pic of gasketless spot please. I vote for gaskets everywhere though.

I don't have a gasket here:
Hope you don't mind that I used your picture for demonstration purposes stranges12712.

My turbo to manifold, much like most of the members here are leak free without a gasket. So long as both surfaces are true you wont have an issue. If they aren't, then you'll need a gasket, but it will eventually fail and fail and fail so long as the surfaces remain warped.
I ultimately needed to put a gasket between my turbo and DP after about 3 years running the setup. I believe my DP flange is out of true and fail to seal against the turbo.
