I found Felpro 60512 seems to work best.
For anyone interested the sizes are
ID: 62 mm (2.4 inches)
OD: 78 mm (3.0 inches)
Thickness: 5 mm
Price at Advance auto parts $5

Thanks for this invaluable info... I stopped by Advance to pick some of these Felpros up, they look much nicer, twice as thick and made in Japan.
Because THIS is the current situation on my first attempt from this morning with the thin-ass Walker gasket and the cheap-ass walker 54681:

Ironic that the Walker gasket is so thin considering the crap fitment of the muffler to the stock cat means it needs to be more than twice as thick.
Look at that flimsy flange bend due to the poor fitment.
Good thing this POS only cost 107 delivered.
I hope it lasts more than a couple of years.

I got a pro tip from a real professional (too late to help me)... exhaust systems are mandated by law to be warrantied for 5 years... therefore OEM components (including fasteners) are almost always the highest quality parts you can buy for an exhaust system.
