Well, I can't tell you for sure, as you didn't mention what model you
had, but when I broke one while fixing the exhaust on my 4kq, I went to
the flaps to find one.  The only thing that they carried that was close
was the doughnut from a ford V8's exhaust.  I used a 2.5" piece.
Problem is, the one on the audi is metal, and the ones that they had for
the ford were a little softer material, kind of like a pressed graphite.
It's slightly thicker, but works in a pinch.

I ended up ordering a couple from Rod at TPC.  I think they were $2-3
each.  Showed up in a couple of days.  Probably your best bet.

Good Luck!
