obx headers leaking

I was wondering where I could get a better gasket that goes between the front header and the y pipe. Now it's leaking there because the cheap gasket broke apart.

Any gasket you need, go to the dealer. Previous owner used those bumass obx gaskets and had my car leaking forever. My baby no longer smells like a gas station and I have back pressure again lol
