Percy's seal-for-good or whatever-they're-called gaskets are really nice for header flanges. I think they also make some for 3-bolt flanges.

Check out Kooks website, they have some gaskets in their accessories dept (not sure if they're Percy's or not).

I used the Percy's carbon fiber with steel insert gaskets for my headers...they sure look like they were well made and hopefully well thought-out.. SEAL-FOR-GOOD....They better.

Yes, the soft aluminum gaskets will work, but they are pretty expensive. Or you can just try regular gaskets with copper RTV on both sides. Make sure to give it awhile to dry before driving the car.
