exhaust leak

i just finished installing my ultimate racing 2.5 hi flow cat that i bought from a member on this site. i have a stock downpipe and a hks hi-power exhaust and the U-R cat is leaking at the gaskets. i need some advice on how to fix the problem. they are new gaskets, can i buy another set and double them up? or do i buy a test pipe? if a test pipe is suggested what will bolt up to a stock downpipe and hks hi power exhaust?

Try some Ultra Copper Gasket maker , it's kind of like silicone glue but better on exhaust system. You can pick it up at any auto parts store. Put it on both sides of the gasket.
