You can buy a gasket for the passenger side, but I am not sure what to suggest to you for the driver side as it is a compression seal. I have a 01, and I installed a BBK X pipe. I then installed JBA shorty headers, and on their installation instructions, they suggest using high temperature silicone all around this compression fit. I did this, and I have yet to have an issue.

biggest thing is that my car is lowered, it hits the ground every once in a while and silicone will brake lose.

you can go to a exhaust shop and have them bend custom pipes that will be higher.
