crossover pipe gasket?

hi,

the engine is ready and runs fine, but i have a little exhaust leak at the drivers side cross-over pipe connection to the manifold. (cone connection).

because the manifold cone isnt the newest any more...

i know, that there wasnt any gasket original, but is there any aftermarket gasket (maybe from another car/engine) or something that works available?

dont know how i could fix that problem. dont want to use any gun gum etc., or would that help? (for longer than one hour).

and yes, i will install a true dual in the future, but for now i have to solve that problem...

No gasket available, your going to have to clean up the connection the best you can. You can buy some exhaust sealer paste/putty at the auto parts store for a temporary fix.

If the manifold portion is definitely bad, and you need to live with it for a while, you could always get another manifold from a junkyard or a member here.

Not the most fun job in the world, but not impossible either.
