BGC downpipe donut # or part

[Turbo V6 231]

Hello I'm looking for the BGC downpipe donut that went with their elbow and 3" stainless downpipe
It went just like the factory one between the pipe and the elbow, but it was big, like 3" or more.
Was told it was a ford truck doubt, they they used when they made this pipe, but never got confirmation or a part #
So any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again

I did a lot of searching for one a few years back and never did find one. I went to a couple of different parts houses and looked at every Ford HD truck gasket they had and could not match it up. I remember someone posting the application that the gasket was from and I had a parts store order that gasket in but it was not the same when it arrived. I went to regular automotive parts stores and some HD truck supply stores all with no luck. I ended up having a machinist buddy make one for mine because I never found anything close. This was on the Malibu/GN hybrid that was featured in Car Craft a couple of years ago.

Thx Steve for your help, do you happen to have a picture of the part you made? In case I have to do the same?
By the way what issue was that your car was in , wouldn't mind looking at that
Thx again
PM me if you got that picture I can then give you my email if need be

I used a smaller donut gasket as a template and just made it bigger. The original was just a steel donut with a taper on both sides. The one my buddy made was out of stainless because that's what he had but most any metal would likely work.

The link below is to the Malibu article. The car belongs to a friend and I built the motor for it. The engine was in my 10 second 67 Firebird prior to going in the Malibu. I think Chad is getting ready to sell it.

I'd be interested in what you get done as well.
