the OE manifolds to heads came without gaskets.. metal to metal..
the collector flange absolutely has gaskets.. they may have even had paper gaskets from the factory if I recall correctly.. My God, though, donuts are SO much easier to use!!
Look around.. I bet you can find some 2 1/4" donuts.. they don't have to be specific to Dodge..
I'm with you though.. I can't tell you how many times i've been to one of the box stores and they want to argue with me about parts, and primarily because it's not found in their precious computers..
