Dp gasket question.

I guess thats the problem with 2 bolt dp. ow well... now my question is... is there a metal gasket out there that could help me? if so where? or any other input is fine.

you've warped your flange from over-tightening it. my fc downpipe was like that.
1) take it to a shop and have them plane it.
or
2) do it yourself with a belt sander.
no gasket will ever seal correctly with a warped flange. you'll blow out the middle of the gasket real quick. level your flange and don't over-tighten it anymore. use lock-nuts instead and your problem should go bye-bye permanently.
