exhaust manifold leak

i have the megan racing exhaust manifold. just realized today that i had a leak coming from where it bolts at the bottom. should i just replace the gasket with a stock one or is there a stronger aftermarket gasket i should get?? and where is the cheapest place to get them. thanks

ps...searched and read some threads on exhaust leaks but none of them answered my questions..if i missed one that did im sorry

I have the DC Sport mani and I noticed the same thing. I am just going to get a new stock one as Ive heard they are some of the best.

Stock.

Check for warpness/debris on mating surfaces.

i had non metal exhaust manifold gaskets and they blow all the time.
Try to find metal / copper type gaskets.
