FIRST OFF THIS IS NOT A TOPIC ON WHAT EXHAUST IS BETTER TO GET!

ok, I just recieved a high flow cat and no gaskets, but i have a 3" HKS hi powered exhast that has one gasket to connect to the cat. I just need one for my stock headers to my high flow cat. now the question is can i use high temp copper sealant to put on it? or would a place like autozone have the same gasket to match the flanges i have

yeah any parts store should have a 3" metal exhaust gasket, make sure you get a metal one though and not the paper kind, that close to the engine will burn up the paper kind, i know from experience. oh and you shouldnt need any rtv or anything, just the gasket

Copper is the best way to go. I would even suggest replacing the gasket that mates the header to the gasket with a copper one if you haven't already done so!
