i took the pipe off to fix the stud that was broken off by the people that sold me the bike... there is a black looks to be rubber o-ring but was wondering if it had a gasket... my TGB did and so did the MRP pipe that I put on the TGB... Ratter i guess does not...

The OEM stock exhaust pipe DOES have a copper ring gasket. It is recessed into the flange.

I understand what you mean, however rubber won't last too long in that location.
