The gaskets basically form a seal between two connecting exhaust pipes. The 'bad noises' are a result of exhaust gases that escape...

Some gaskets cost more than others. The two gaskets that connect each exhaust manifold to the head pipes (part #44022AA200) are pretty cheap at ~$6 each. The one gasket that connects the stock muffler to the pipe coming from the resonator (part #44022PA000) costs close to $50 from subaruparts.com!
