Header to Y-Pipe Gasket info needed

I just purchased a set of SLP shorty headers to 3" along with 3" Y-Pipe. I need some kind of gasket, but not sure what. I attached a pic. It looks like it needs some kind of 'donut' gasket, but not sure where to find. ... maybe I go to an exhaust shop? Auto parts stores always find everything by make and model... which won't work out here

Any ideas? thanks! Brad

I went to the local Schucks and let they me dig throught their exhaust donut bin until I found something that worked. I wish I had the p/n for you, but someone I am sure does.

... all I need to look for is a donut that will slide over a 3" pipe? What are they made of? Are they soft enough that they just conform to the mating surface by tightening down so that it is not real important on the donut thickness and OD?

They're just an exhaust donut. Fel pro and Walker both make them. Your best bet is to measure the inside diameter and just dig through the box at the parts store til you find one that matches.
