I have the TU cast and coated exhaust manifold. The standard gasket ports are smaller than the ex manifold ports. Does anyone know if TU makes a gasket that matches the header. If not what's the best way to cut and match the standard gasket to the manifold?

NIce sharp x-acto blade will do. I am sure you are running a ported head to cut it to that.

Yes, my 782 head is getting ported also. If the new TU cast manifold ports are larger than the ex head ports, which side do you match the gasket to, or do you port the head ports to match the same size as the manifold ports with the gasket matching both?
