Header gasket

Head to header gasket is bad and I need another one, TTR doesn't sell them. CA says they got'em but there something wrong with there paypal; they told they sell a gmp one.

Is this the one they're talking about? Will it work with CA's header? Or should I get one like the one that came with the header?

Then whats the point of the gaskets that come with headers? Why are the aftermarket gaskets thicker then oem?
