Greetings: I recently bought my first scooter, generic 50cc gy6 in less than pristine condition. The seller told me it needed an exhaust gasket and gave me one with the purchase. When taking off the exhaust I found that it didn't have the acorn nuts and in fact was missing one nut.

The gasket given to me by the seller was a round ring. When I bought the acorn nuts they came with what I would call a full face gasket, metal coated with holes for the studs and a large hole for the exhaust. Is the full gasket preferable to the smaller round gasket? Thanks in advance. I also noticed that the welding between the actual exhaust pipe and the flange was not fitted well. The flange is not 90 degrees to the pipe, so the "land" left is not consistent. I am not sure if the round gasket rides in this land, but I think it would be difficult to seal if it does. I can try to post a pic if this description isn't clear.
