Hi all i'm having a exhaust sealing problem

on my sx4 i have this decat manifold

*Removed photo as per our T&C's*

but on my sx4 the manifold front pipe from the bottom of my old cat to a link pipe was longet then on the sx4 comapre to the swift the header was aimed at so after a quick trip to the breakers i got a 1.3 ignis front pipe then me and couple of friends modifed the iggy to fit the a part of my sx4 front pipe.

*Removed photo as per our T&C's*

the pipes sit inside each other nice and tight but not tight enough so we smothered it in gum gum which is now breaking off!

what would be the best gasket to use?

the wire round gaskets or a solid crush seal? or is there something more suitable

Gun gum tends to go brittle,i would use a crush type seal with a flexible type of sealant for exhausts, hope you cure the problem !!
