Default Header gaskets?
I have a header gasket leak and was wondering which gaskets you guys think are the best?

Go to a stealership near you and get you some OEM gaskets. One of my gaskets was leaking and i replaced them with these and have had no problems since. Other guys on here have said the same thing before!

Really? Someone told me to get some "Earl's Gaskets" or something. I forgot to mention that they were aftermarket LTs. Sorry.

Whether they are aftermarkt headers or stock manifolds you would still use oem gaskets.

Percy's seal-4-good are teh best.

Stockers work great too, and are a little cheaper. Make sure you've got clean/straight surfaces and use a lil' anti-sieze on the threads of the bolts.
