Comptech Headers, missing gasket

Bought a used set of CT headers, and found one of the gaskets (flange, whatever) that go at one end of the downpipe, is missing.
Do I need to contact Comptech to get the part, or is there somewhere else to get it ?
Thanks

Go to a muffler shop and get 3 of the round crush o-rings. They should be replaced anyhow.

Any muffler shop I am assuming will have these ? Figured it would be a special order part.

or go to an autoparts store, you can cut it to make it fit right

I got the ones from Comptech. All 3. No one had them near me. I was told the stock ones at the dealer would not fit.

Sounds like you just need to call Comptech. Can't hurt to hear what they have to say.

they are O-rings, not gasket material like the header gaskets that are inbetween the headers and block...

They can be found at any muffler shop.

Thanks guys, I guess I'd have to take the downpipe to the muffler shop, and see if they have any that fit.
