Default Gaskets for test pipes

I have test pipes on my car and threw a check engine light code P2A03. Car was running sluggish and I heard a slight hissing sound. Was determined to be exhaust leak but from where the test pipes are (does that make sense?) was not coming from the catback. I had this fixed and solved the problem for 4 months. But now I am getting code P2A00 which is the same type of code just a different bank.

I need the triangular gaskets in the link

but what is the best one to get? This ebay link was provided by the shop but the guy said they were getting too hot. Since it failed again I just have to buy the part and they will throw it on for free. I want to get a different brand I don't think these ebay ones are any good. Does Stillen, Z1 or anyone else make a good one?

Your first problem is buying something from Eshit.. never buy anything from eBay!! Now I use the Z1 gaskets and have never had an issue. Nor have I ever heard anyone have an issue.

There's nothing wrong with purchasing from eBay, it's what you purchase and who you purchase from. I got my Berk test pipes, Nismo titanium shift knob and a few other pieces there. That being said, Z1 should have the gaskets you're looking for.
