TaoTao 150 exhaust header/port mismatch

[sprok]

I lost the nuts off my header which I have replaced but obviously there was something else in there to seal the port. Some sort of gasket or WTF? I don't get it. The header does not match the exhaust port at all. It's like it's twisted. Some melted plastic there where the port is leaking.



Anyone know what goes in there to make the port not leak?

Looking at replacement gaskets I wonder if TaoTao actually mounted the gasket sideways. Then it fell out when the nuts came loose. That's the only explanation I have. I might just order a normal gasket and try putting it in sideways.
