You don't need a gasket. Just buy a tube of high-temp exhaust sealant and you're good to go.

Default I've used Cu Gasket on flanges that are dead square...

...for those that are not dead square:

or you can cut with an xacto knife out of a small sheet 12Ga. Lead after you template the flange on paper....<ul><li><a href="http://www.permatex.com/products/prodidx.asp?automotive=yes&amp;f_call=get_item&amp ;item_no=80696">http://www.permatex.com/products/prodidx.asp?automotive=yes&amp;f_call=get_item&amp ;item_no=80696</a</li></ul>

Default I used annealed copper sheet and cut it out, napa has the copper easy to work with, silicone would

work as well, don't really need much those flanges are pretty beefy, and square. There have been a lot of questions about that flange, Forge needs to send a gasket and bolts to eliminate confusion

Default I don't know where you live? was just trying to help, you can get copper sheet somewhere

and then using an oxy/acetylene torch light torch cover the copper with the soot created from the flame, The lean out to a nice flame with oxy, slowely heat copper until the soot burns off @ that point it is annealed.

Silicone (HI-Temp) WILL work as well, its a very good option.

Default Thank guys for your recommendation, I think that I'm going to use Silicone

Silicone (HI Temp) is more accesible to me...
