Default Manifold /header and up pipe gaskets!

Well since I bought my classic it's had a blow from somewhere up front and yesterday I got gaskets and started stripping headers off the up pipe gaskets had a piece missing which I guess didn't help lol any ideas why?

Default sold my wrx300

just like to say thanks to you guys ,, some really nice people on this forum and great knowledge and advice.

i plan to be back in a high bhp scooby in the future but atm we moved recently and that really used up the money i had planned to make the wrx300 exactly as i wanted it unfortunately

for reference i sold it via autotrader - got the price i wanted and loads of interest so they are selling ok on the market

thanks to all the good people ive met on here
