I'm having a hard time getting the little donut that goes on the y-pipe, ford doesn't seem to understand what it is. they have given me a 3 holed seal, then the same one except with 2 holes.
anyone know the part number?

I have a 97 so its different, i dont have flex pipe, and the flange only has 2 bolts.. not 3.
EDIT: here's a pic of the y-pipe. the donut goes over the lip on the pipe.

My dealer was clueless about that part number too. I reused mine since it seemed ok.

Mine broke when I transferred the stock one to the MSDS Y-pipe that I have. It cracked on one side and I have a SMALL exhaust leak on start-up

MTX,
None of the SVT guys here will know what the hell you are talking about. For some reason most non-SVT Duratecs with MTX use a 2-bolt flange with a spring loaded joint and aforementioned donut, instead of the 3 bolt with flex pipe arrangement.
I don't have the P/N for you, but I can dig through my receipts at home tonight and get it for you.
Bottom line, in Ford-ish speak, you need a donut that is specific to a non-SVT 2.5L manual trans.

Here's the part # if the "donut" you're talking about is the gasket between y-pipe and cat-pipe
F5RZ*9450*B
I paid $12.21 at my local dealer. One thing though. This was a special order and apparently they come in 2's. The asshat made me buy two of them. I just brought the other one back a different day to a different guy and got my money back for it.

Munson: Not true. My 98 SVT E1 has a 2-bolt flange and the same gasket between Y-Pipe and Main cat flange.
