Mating 2.5 inch Stock DP to 3 inch Cat-back

Any one have a solution for mating a 2.5" stock downpipe to a 3" cat-back exhaust? A 2.5" gasket seems too small, a 3" seems too big. I might try a 2.75" gasket today, but there has to be a better solution!

Use a 3" gasket if the fire/crush ring still sits on the 2.5" flange.

I just did this.
You can either get a sold exhaust gasket and put between two,

or I opted for this thing here, which is AWESOME:

Thanks ikt, just ordered one. Did you just use a 2.5" and 3" gasket on it? Or did you order a donut gasket like they recommended?

I got a 2.5 regular for one side and a 3" for the other and it worked great. On the Grimmspeed site they say you can use either one. The donuts are more for Subarus

Great, thanks for the info. I picked up the GS 2x thick 3 inch gasket and a 2.5 inch vibrant gasket.
