Default Header/manifold Gasket question

Ok, I have the turbo setup in and have a small exhaust leak from the manifold where the d16 header flange bolts to the engine. I have the metal gasket in but I think that the flange is a bit warped (not completely flat). So I have 2 choices take it off and have a machine shop work on it. Or am wondering if they make a gasket that is metal but has several layers (like the ones that goe between the cat and muffler and stuff). This type of gasket would seal perfect.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure if it will help, but I make my own gaskets from that gasket sheet stuff you can buy at autozone or automotive places.. I had to ask about it and found out they store it in the back behind the counter. Get the highest temp stuff. I made a flange gasket, manifold to adapter gasket, and adapter to turbo gasket and they work awesome with no problems whatsoever with no leaks.

Buy the Napa brand exhaust gaskets, they're the layered metal gaskets. I just bought mine today at a Napa store. Go to your local Napa parts store or buy it online at www.Napaonline.com

Is that the header gasket or the exhaust one? I need the d16 header one.
