Default Exhaust Help! Please!!

Ok, I know you all think I'm crazy but I decided to keep my 75 ALL, stock, well except for pistons and a cam, anyway I'm using the stock exhaust. My question is, are there gaskets or dounuts that go in between the flanges that connect the catalytic conveter to the Y-pipes, (between the square flanges) or do you just bolt the flanges together?? Looks like it will leak without some kind of seal.
Thanks!!

you got that right. i'm not sure about the gaskets, but i think putting in that resrtictive exhaust is going to make your new cam and pistons useless. IMO

but you can do whatever you want
