Correct. Between gen1's, early have a thicker gasket, the later models had the thin, or do I have it the other way around?
'06-'07 headers were smaller diameter tubes, thus the proportional smaller diameter at the collector. Same muffler tip diameters so those cans can swap back and forth from 2006 to your '09 and a few more models. When the headers became larger beginning in '08, the collector had a larger diameter for the cat, thus the thinner collector to muffler gasket.
I believe your setup is '06 header into '09 muffler = fatter gasket.
