This is what the Becker gasket looks like:
the hardware that comes with these kind of exhausts are terrible.
judging by the photo that you have taken the OEM gasket is just fine. Even if its a mm undersized it shouldn't be a big problem. had the same kind of experience back when the e46 m3 headers on ebay were a hot item.
