Default What is the best exhaust manifold gasket?

I blew a gasket on my turbo lq4, i was using percys seal for good gaskets and they didn't last a month. What do you recommend as a good gasket for exhasut manifolds?

yes factory ones are excellent i always reuse them too!

for extra insurance you can get permatex copper spray RTV and spray them front and back and then install them.
