Sadly, when it comes to this particular gasket... You must spend the money for the best results. It will give you peace of mind.

Or buy a used one. The stock gasket is really the only way to go.

Or you could make a downpipe gasket using this method (well, mine is a backplate gasket, but you get the idea)
