Default Exhaust Manifold Gaskets

2003 Infiniti G35
Greddy TT
Fel-Pro Gaskets

So at the track yesterday I noticed an exhaust manifold leak, that obviously got worse as the day went on and now my car sounds like a junker.

When I first installed the kit (bought used), I tossed the used gaskets and bought new fel-pro ones which obviously couldnt take the abuse.

So now I have to replace it, but Im curious now, with that? I'd like to use a layered metal gasket that can take the abuse, thats what came with the greddy tt kit but I didnt use them. Maybe a bad idea, but it's been 2+ years of abuse, mostly at the track.

Does anyone recommened a gasket that will take abuse for years to come, this is going to be a shitty job, in my garage, with the motor in. So if I doit, I want to doit right and make it last.

Recommendations?

Thanks.
