Help with test pipe

Has anyone run a test (cat delete) pipe with stock exhaust. I bought one but I am having trouble finding a 3.5" donut exhaust gasket. 2005 6.0L

Thanks

I installed one I bought off ebay from T & J's Diesel Perf. Bolted right up. Did not need to get a donut for my 03 6.0. Didn't see any gains in fuel mileage but I love hearing the sound of the turbo.

i dont think you can really expect a gain in mileage, the main reason for the cat delete is to lower the egt's

Mine bolted right up and did not need a donut. I saw aslight gain in mileage and some power gain. I really like the quicker turbo spool and sound.

Thanks I just ordered one. The one I have now is for MBRP down pipe in stainless so it won't work well stock down pipe I guess I'll sell It. It's stainless if anyone wants it.

Thanks again everyone

Chempower, do you know if it's 304 or 409 stainless? I've got the 4" MBRP 304 kit and have thought about picking up the Cat delete for it.
