You can probably re-use the metal exhaust manifold gasket on the head. If you want to get a new one, just get it from the dealership. As for the gasket that bolts to the exhaust, I'm not 100% sure of the size of the flange but most likely it's a 2.25" or 2.5" 3-bolt.

You can buy new bolts from any autoparts store (I got mine from Advance Auto). I can't remember the size; I think you'll need 3 M10x30mm bolts and 2 M10 nuts. Just bring yours in and match them up. The same goes for the bolts that connect to your cat-back exaust, I just used some grade 8 bolts from the hardware store with washers; I'd recommend getting as big of a bolt as possible that'll fit in the bolt holse.
