yeah it has a gasket but the way it fits up it needs a deep well socket and a swivel and because of that i really cant torque the bolts down. i dont know if GT's are like that or not.

i think it would be worth your time to take it to an exhaust shop maybe if theres no way for u to tighten em down enough. someone at a shop might know a lil trick to do to get it right
