Default Best gasket for pypes?

What are the best gaskets to use with my pypes headers? I think I may have developed a leak from the supplied pypes gaskets, as I hear a faint ticking/hissing sound coming from under the car or if you listen directly next to the driver side from wheel. If I fix the leak and the sound goes away I may consider keeping the headers on, but thats only if JDM ever decides to send me an updated tune with the 02's on so I can see if I can pass inspection. Are the oem gaskets really the best to use? I want to get it sealed up good so I would never have to do this again.

Its weird cause mine have lasted fine since February. The fitment with the pypes headers themselves was great, but I think the cheap a$$ supplied gasket is whats causing the problem.
