Exhaust clamp question

[Stlrfan152]

I had my transmission replaced, it was finished today. They pretty much threw my exhaust back in, so it is leaking at the clamp behind the Y pipe. I was able to adjust it a little bit to quiet it down, but it's pretty rusty. Just curious if I order a new clamp is there a gasket or anything between the two exhaust pipes? I might bring it back to the dealer, but it's hard to get there without taking a day off from work. If it's just a clamp I'd rather just do it myself and be done with it. I attached a picture from the mopar site, it doesn't look like there is one there. I just figured someone on here has done a cat back exhaust and taken this clamp off.

When I installed my AWE exhaust there was no gasket at that coupling.

Perfect thank you. The clamp on mine looks like it'll break if I tighten it too much so I'm ordering a new one. I just didn't want to have it apart and learn I need more stuff.

When I swapped out the OEM exhaust for MBRP, I did a couple of wraps of lead tape around the ball flange.

Wire brush both sides of the ball connection and put anti seize on the inside of the clamp and on the threads.
