PLM shorty header install

I have ordered the 8 exhaust manifold gaskets. My question is: is there a gasket in between the flange of the manifold and the flange of the downpipe with the primary cat?

I can see a 1/4 inch gap and what looks like a copper gasket. I called the dealer and they show no gasket.

The PLM header flange looks like this:

So do I need a gasket here and if so, does anyone have a part number?

Thanks.

There isnt a gasket there. The factory exhaust overlaps the end of the header and seals it when tightened.
