You will probably get mixed reviews on that one, but I always use oem gaskets whenever I can.

I'm pretty sure that custom gaskets would be fine (made from paper gasket material). I just wouldn't want to try them on the exhaust side.

Just because there's sucking involved with the intake, I would be careful about using the goop. I'd play it safe, and use something that can't be sucked into the housing.

Or, go that route. From what I understand, they're less than $10 each from Mazda.
