here is how i have always done it

make sure the flanges are straight and not warped from welding

spread a thin layer of red RTV or copper gasket maker on the flange. and clamp them down

in other words i dont use gaskets on many of my exhaust parts. no leaks for me on a v6 with 25 psi from a pt61 and a t76
