manifold warped?

My exhaust manifold doesnt seem the sit right and seal properly, do u think i can get it fixed by taking it to a machine shop?? Will a Mill/deck job or w.e it's called fix this? Thicker gasket maybe?

thanks guys!!

a shop could probably machine the surface flat again... depending on how bad it's warped..

mine was warped bad cuz it was really thick stainless and the guy welding it apparently was stupid. but the flange was 1/2 inch thick, so I had my buddy deck it to take out the savage warpage and it sealed perfectly after that.
