Which gasket? The one that seals the exhaust manifold to the head or the end of the exhaust manifold to the mid-pipe?

If its the mid-pipe there should be a groove on the H or X pipe that will match the gasket, at least this is what I remember with my GT. It may be the opposite with the groove being on the exhaust mani, but either way it will be self explanitory once you see it.

I have the UPR O/R also and there is no grove on it. I guess I put it on backwards.
