i didnt use any gasket as per stock and it sealed right up... i was able to hold it with one hand and put the clamp together with the other. Floor jack holding it up helps.

It also really helps to use a small hammer to tap the clamp tighter before tightening the bolts - it really helps it pinch the joint together without relying and possibly cracking the cast exhaust clamp.
