Default Copper or not?

I recently got bought some headers for ls1 and am just wondering if anyone has gone with the copper header gaskets, and if so do they recommend them?

Actually the stock gm exhaust gaskets are high quality and seal up very well. If you don't have a lot of miles on your car you can actually reuse these gaskets. If not than you can get a set from carquest that is I think $15. They are the exact same gaskets gm sells for more money. Just make sure you get the MLS gaskets.
