Topic: j-pipe to merged header clamps

I am trying to re-use my j-pipes and merged header (which are rusty, but otherwise useable) but I think I need new clamps to mate the j-pipe to the header.   They're just metal clamps with some sort of high-temperature gasket inside that seals against the tubes.  Unfortunately, this inner material is completely corroded and falling out so its not getting a good seal and my exhaust is *very* loud.

I'd be a shame if I cant find a replacement for the clamps I've got.  Any idea what they're called or where to get them?

Re: j-pipe to merged header clamps

Should just be the same donut gasket/muffler clamps that are used with stock type 1 exhaust systems.
