Exhaust Gasket

I'm in need of a new gasket for where the rear exhaust connects to the midpipe. I have the raceroots exhaust gaskets but the rear one has blown out a few weeks after my midpipe install. Where's the best place to buy a new factory donut gasket?

The raceroots gasket for the header to midpipe works great, but for the rear the stock one seems like it would sit a lot better. I'll take a look at Mazdatrix, thanks!

Pstone. i've tried reusing the stock donut gasket for my exoticspeed cat and it didn't fit.
not sure how much different your midpipe is so good luck if you try using it.
I'm curious as to why the raceroots gasket blew out. Did you reuse the exhaust bolt springs that come off the oem cat pipe?
