Y Pipe Gaskets

I just got my new Budget Y pipe during their special. What gaskets are best to use, Budget's or stock nissans. Stock gaskets must be cheap and if they are better then I'll pick-up a set.

they are like 10-15 bucks each and they are alot better IMO because they have 3 thin metal layers put together.

I personally don't like the oem metal gaskets for the cat flange.I'm not sure what budget uses. I use a thicker cardboard type gasket i get from napa.
