Default 4-2-1 downpipe gasket salvage

Does anyone know any ways to salvage my downpipe gasket. A little corner is blown out. people have said wrong in tin foil. use copper sheets for a new gasket?

What are some of the things you guys have done?

Really.... you can't spend 8$ and get a new one is it even causing a noise(exhaust leak)

Get a sheet of gasket material from your local parts store, and make your own gasket.

Take them off and weld them.
Also make sure your bolts are tight. I never had one blow on me.
