Default Anybody have exhaust leak problems?

I had a gasket replaced after the Cat on my exhaust cause of a leak, and then I got another leak from a seal above the cat, I took it in to an exhaust shop and they told me a reman. Cat assembly was like $700 and that I needed one because it was warped, I don't know how it could have warped. I told him that I am not payin that much now and asked him to just do the other gasket, he said it won't last and he couldn't give me a warrentee. Well it seems much better but still leaks a little after the gasket got replaced. I don't feel it in the gass peddle much but I still can hear it slightly. Do you think I really need to replace this assembly? How much? It just seems like a lot of cash for a exhaust leak out of a connector.

Default CAT

THEY SAID THE CAT ASSEMBLY OR SOMETHIN, LIKE IT COMES AS A SYSTEM, I KNOW IT COULDN'T BE MUCH MORE TOOIT WHEN IT MEETS THE DOWNTUBES. DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU DID SOMETHING ON YOURS LIKE THAT. LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN PUT IN PLACE OF THIS IF THAT IS MY PROBLEM, I THINK THEY ARE REFERING TO THE PIPES THAT BOLT TOGETHER THOUGH. I WISH I HAD AN EXHAUST SHOP I COULD TRUST FOR EITHER OF MY RIDES
