Divided Downpipe (O2 Housing) Gasket

I made a downpipe (o2 housing) that vents the wastegate to atmosphere. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a gasket that is also divided?

Below is a screenshot of the flange, the gasket that I need should look similar. Please help!

Hey guys! Thanks for the help! I will search the open dump vendors right now. I will also try to post some pictures of my downpipe tomorrow :-)

If anyone else has any other suggestions I am all ears! Thanks!

why dont ou make your own gasket from a sheet of gasket material? The shape of your wastegate area isn't going to match anyone elses gasket.

That is a good point. The picture above is actually "rev a" of my flange. The shape of the wastegate area was kind of arbitrary, I was just trying to get the bolt hole locations right. Anyway, the flange that I used for the downpipe has smoother geometry around the wastegate area because that made it easier to fit the tubes.

I guess with all of the divided O2 housings available I just figured someone would offer a divided gasket. RevMoto is right though, maybe I just need to spend the time and money and get a copper one cut...

JMFab makes a gasket and supplies it with their o2 housings. I'm sure they'd sell you just the gasket.

Sweet, thanks for the help guys! I am just going to cut one out of a sheet of gasket material for now. If it leaks down the road I will get a copper one cut. Here is a picture of the downpipe, it is actually for my Honda.
