Hi, all. I am going through the mechanicals of a new to me 1992 K75 (Standard, I think). Pulled the muffler off to get rid of the heat wrap the previous owner had on it and polish it up a bit. Ordered the 18 12 1 457 142 gasket and received a roll of silver cardboard-like material (not certain what I expected, like maybe a cylindrical one piece something, but this wasn't it), so I have a question concerning proper installation. Does one use the whole length of this part? There doesn't appear to be any adhesive so how does it stay in place? Also, in the middle of this length of material it is...........not sure how to explain it.......broken/not consistent/wrong. I have included a picture. The black on the left hand part of it is carbon build up inside the muffler as I had tried to put that half on, and then thought better of it. Thought I would ask advice from people who have possibly done this before. Thanks in advance
