Down pipe donut replacement

[GNONYX]

I'm not sure if anyone has replace or eliminate the d/p donut.
I removed both cracked headers, d/p, and cross-over pipe. I did notice between the d/p and turbo housing was a donut with a metal ring inside the ceramic donut. My question is there a donut replacement or just replace it with something else, or from the pictures below of I can this use the same donut?

I would get a new donut. They have a graphite(?) coating on them. Yours looks like its seen better days.

that donut doesn't look to bad and you could probably put it back in there. As long as it's still soft so that it crushes correctly into the downpipe and seals you should be fine. Push on it with your fingernail and if you can make a groove it should still be ok just make sure if you put it back on you can't see any exhaust coming out of the connection when you rev it. If you do want to replace it they do make new ones you can get for like $15-$20. I have a donut that all i did was put on my down pipe as a test fit and now i'm getting a new downpipe so if you want it i'll send it to you for $10 it has 0 miles on it.

NAPA has them for about $10- they might not have the listing on the computer, but it can be matched up pretty easily.
