Exhaust Tube Connection

Still getting to know the new (to me) bike. 2011 sprint gt. Exhaust sounded like it was blowing. Tightening up the jubilee style clip did not fix it. Further investigation revealed a load of gasket paste and a weird collar washer thingy. Is this normal? How does yours fit?

Thanks

These gaskets are usually some sort of crushable mesh which are regarded as single use but I've reused them successfully with some copper or graphite grease.
Yours look shot.
This type of thing........
