When you say donuts are you talking the flanges or the fiber gaskets? I found that copper rtv replaces all the metal or fiber gaskets very well. A lot cheaper and does not blow. It also cleans up really quick with a razor blade when you take it apart. My computer crashed so I lost all my book marks but the metal flanges can be gotten for around $10 each. The trick is to figure out the actual application and not for a "S300" etc. Buying the second way just makes a middle man rich. For my aftermarket exhaust brake I ended up making a flange out of 1/2" plate. I also used some straight stock welded to a chunk of exhaust pipe to make a flange on anther pipe I had to fabricate. It wasn't pretty but was cheap and functional.
