I use that ---- for everything. Only gasket it really doesn't like doing is the manifold to turbo one...it's always drying out and turning to a coppery dust.

U dont need a downpipe gasket... it's a tight fit. Your Turbo deff. shouldnt' be warped. I never run one.

A small amount of carbon should seal the down pipe after it runs for a little while.
