If your uppipe is sold you are likely to go through quite a few collectors to uppipe gaskets and it is for this reason that all my uppipes are slip jointed to relieve thermal stress during heat cycling. This also greatly reduces the possibility of the headers cracking.
If you are running GT Spec tubular headers you should be running my trick 3 bolt uppipe anyway because of the proven improved spool and torque right across the rev range.
Gaskets : The gaskets on GT2 header sets are as follows :
2 x Head to Exhaust Manifold/header. These rarely require replacement.
1 x 3 bolt Collector to Uppipe. These can go regularly if fitting work was not done properly or a solid uppipe is in use.
1 x Uppipe to Turbo. These rarely require replacement.
Although some people frown on the practice we will not replace gaskets needlessly when there is nothing wrong with the original, the exception being the 3 bolt header to uppipe gasket, particularly when solid uppipes are in use.
If using OE Subaru 4 piece header and uppipe set :
Exactly as above 2 x head to exhaust. Rarely replaced.
2 x 2 bolt gaskets at either side of the crosspipe.
1 x Larger 2 bolt gasket collector to uppipe. The OE uppipe has an expansion banjo but this is the most likely gasket to go on an OE header set and very likely to go at some point when the OE uppipe has been replaced with a solid uppipe.
1 x uppipe to turbo gasket. This is triangularish in shape, 3 bolt, very rarely replaced.
ITH.

The gasket i have will fit the bottom of the uppipe. Sorry, I don't know how else to explain it to you. Harvey's response was very comprehensive.
Here are some links to help:
