This is a pic of the cardboard and foil gasket that came with my new studs. I bought new studs because one of mine broke off and it developed a loud exhaust leak. What other gaskets should i use?  |

Are you asking if you should just use that one gasket ,or possibly two gaskets together ? Many of us only use the one metal ncy type gasket on our free flow exhausts. I just recently heard that some use this gasket along with the round crush type gasket , but its usually not necessary to use both gaskets together. The metal ncy type is best. |

No need to "use them all" in fact, The one you have pictured will work just fine. A bit of gasket sealant (RTV) would also do the trick.
No need for multiple seals unless you are bridging a gap for some reason.
Good Luck!!!!!!

I had trouble installing the copper gasket. I used some scotch tape to stick it to the foil gasket. I used a ciggerette lighter to melt the tape so as to not "bannana in the tail pipe" ala' Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop.
I initially used never seize on the new exhaust studs. I reinstalled them using maximum strength Red Loctite. I have experience with this product on my full suspension bicycle.
I installed the exhaust nuts with medium strength Blue Loctite.
