I made my own exhaust flange and O2 gaskets out of .048 sheet copper used for roofing. I just traced the flanges and cut them out with a plasma cutter. I coat them with Permatex Copper Coat, allow it to air dry(10-15mins) and become tacky before install.

Works great and was necessity for the Bullseye ex. housings I use. Their O2 outlets are a little different from the factory DSM style. The pattern is close to factory, but they increased the size of the outlets causing an offset. I had to facbricate my own downpipe flange, DP and O2 gasket. Off the shelf items require porting or cutting to align properly.
