I bought a set of 4-2-1 headers off my friend,the headers did not come with the gaskets,i reused my manifold gasket,& I have straight pipe so I did not have to replace the donut gasket,but its leaking in the middle,where the 4 to 2 meet,I have looked everywhere for the gasket & even ask ebay sellers if they would sell it separtly but they wont,
its not a big leak,but I can hear it when I drive beside a wall or floor it in a lower gear,I thought about getting a wire feed/arc welder & welding it together but thats a little bit of alot to do & $,but if you have any other suggestions or know where to get one at it would be great

yeah, if you ever get into pro drag racing, gasket blanks will becoem a good friend of yours. to cut the holes (if you dont have a punch set) you can use empty shells (from bullets), I had a size conversion chart somewhere that showed the differnt sizes.
