Need to buy new gaskets for my y-pipe

I got a budget cali-spec ypipe and was wondering where would be the cheapest place to buy gaskets? do i HAVE to buy it from budget? or will other companies fit just as well?

thanks in advance

no i bought it new, had them on for a while. now there's a gas leak towards the front of the y-pipe. the gaskets probably got worn out. will the ones from nissan fit budget's ypipe?

edit:
i checked courtesyparts.com and i dunno if this is what i need.

so... this would probably be the right gasket?

Yes, the gaskets that go from manifold to y are called crush rings. I bought mine from napa
