so i discovered that i have a pretty big exhaust leak. i blew the gasket out where the aftermarket header meets the down-pipe and i cant seen to find any gaskets for it. So what should i do? Can i make a new one and how?

do you own a Megan Racing Header?
That is very common on Megan Headers. Great header, but they cheaped out in the gasket department.
Buy yourself some copper gasket maker in the tube from any auto parts store, and apply a good 3mm glob on there. Wait a little bit for the goop to kick, then torque it together
^^click it or ticket^^ -
2x that's what i did after a few months worth of research before i settled on the Megan Racing Header.
i just used the Permatex Copper Gasket sealent and it works great.

I just received the same gasket today from SummitRacing.com
$15 shipped but it was sent monday and i got it today. fixing that right now. the gasket itself seems like a beast. compared to the Megan gaskets which feel light and almost hollow, this one is solid and heavy. i would say almost 1/2lb.
