Question exhaust gasket

Does anyone know what the size and bolt pattern the gasket is that fits on the end of the exhaust manifold is. The triangle shaped one. Mine has given way and autozone doesn't carry it but I have a feeling one of the aftermarket ones for a header will fit just don't know the size and bolt pattern. Thanks for any help.

I know I meant to really say if anyone knows a triangle one that will fit. Like the one that comes with a RP. The one that came with my RP took a crap and I need to find one that fits and they come in a million different sizes.

There is a groove on both flanges that it sits in.
