Default cant find gasket

Hey guys
I have one of those junky ebay headers for my d16y8 that I at this point, really regret getting since I see no HP improvement and it sounds too raspy, not to mention the 5 month old gasket that came with it is already burnt out (and I'm pretty sure this shouldnt happen for what, 5 - 10 years?).
I've been looking for a replacement everywhere but I have only found one on ebay, and it looks like the exact same header i originally bought.
I've googled for a half hour and can't find anything, does anyone know where I can get a header gasket (header/downpipe) online? Or does anyone have one or even an original header i could buy? thanks
-Ivan

Why not put your stock manifold back on? Probably the gasket blew because the surface on the cheap header is not flat, and a new gasket will just do the same thing.

The gasket between the header and pipe, if it's a conventional "donut" or flat design you should be able to buy at any parts store.
