no instead of the cheap *** material that the gaskets most people sell are made out you can buy ones that are acutal copper they withstand alot more pressure and last longer.

I know Lancershop used to have 3" exhaust gaskets. However, I have no idea whether they were copper nor whether they still have them in-stock.

I run copper gaskets on my wastegate and dump tube. I bought them from rnr racing. You might check with them.

Copper gaskets

You could make a pattern in illustrator and have a sign shop cut it from the file, they usually have laser cutters or water jet or etc.
