It depends on the shape of the pipe, and the hole in the manifold. The donut gasket is used if there's a chamfer on the inside diameter of the manifold port, and a corresponding taper in the exhaust pipe. Earlier applications had a flat flange welded onto the pipe, with a flat surface on the manifold. Use whichever gasket fits the specific application you have, not both.
