Go get some gasket material at the auto
parts store and make your own.  You can set it over the flange and tap around the edges with a ball pein hammer to score the pattern, or make a pattern out of a piece of paper rubbing a crayon over it to mark the flange. 

Get a chunk of aluminum or something fairly flat, wrap some sandpaper around it and go at the flanges to make sure they're flat before putting it all together.

I make my own.  I don't feel like having a box of em on standby everytime I pull my exhaust apart.

The gaskets should be changed annually. Those are great manifolds. Best bang for the buck and only just short of headers as far as performance.

That was what I planed on doing but it looked like they have a rubber gasket I'm them
