I need exhaust gaskets that last!

Hey everyone, hows it goin. I have a problem and I could use some suggestions. I need to find exhaust gaskets that last. I recently replaced part of my exhaust and within a week I had a slow leak that just got worse as I drove. I replaced one but all 3 are leaking. I tried 2 different brands. Before I replaced the exhaust piece I had gaskets in there that cost me $15, from Rx7.com. I'm trying to avoid paying that much for gaskets. Anyone know of any long lastings ones (at least a few months)? Website stores? Auto part stores? please help. I just failed inspection because of this exhaust leak problem.
thanks.

Yeah, stock Mazda, or RB. RB sells the stock Mazda ones, but I think theyre cheaper there than from Mazda.
