FL Exhaust gasket (header/midpipe)

So I bought Arun's (imput1234) exoticspeed midpipe about a month ago and after installing a few times I kept having trouble with leaks from the header/midpipe area. I e-mailed Exoticspeed and they were pretty good, they wrote me back on a Sunday night and even posted pics of their gasket on their website. The gasket they had looked too similar to the stocker. I never ordered one so for the record it might be a great product, idk. However I was looking on EbAy and found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3560&viewitem=
Guy was in Tampa and he shipped it in 2 or 3 days. I just installed it and wow. No leaks at all, I went from backfiring once or twice and shooting O.K. flames to backfiring like a crazy man and starting forest fires (not really). So I just thought I'd share with everyone. I am in no way affilliated with the company, just want to help out my 8s.

Yeah... RaceRoots sells them:

I've had those on my car for a couple years, back when I purchased my MazSport mid-pipe and they included those gaskets.
The mid-pipe has been removed several times for e-check and couple times dropping the tranny... both gaskets still look good and seal well.

No no I was more interested in the companies which are both carrying the same product at the same price point.
