Default Header Gaskets

Which header gaskets do you guys like to use?

I am ordering Pacesetter Long Tube Race and heard there gaskets and bolts suck.

Which exhaust bolts and gaskets should I get?

I just bought some factory gaskets from the dealership. No problems so far.

I just swapped in Fel Pro #1406's with my Kooks stepped LTs in place of the Kooks garbage gaskets. Easy install as the gaskets are hooked on each end to hang on the end header bolts making them easy to line up and tighten down...And after having my Stage 8 bolts all losen up we replaced the locking stuff with a pair of washers that lock together on each bolt and prevent backing off at all...I think we got the washers from a local stainless place...Fastenal or Totally Stainless...

I've been using fel pro MS9275B, I got them at checkers auto, they have to be the more comfortable to install, just loosen up the bolts and drop 'em in

Using Mr. Gasket's and stage 8 locking header bolts. Another wise investment for whatever you go with for gaskets.

Been using the aforementioned Felpro 1406s for 10 years with MACs, Jet Hots, and now LPPs, and not one single leak. For the price they can't be beat.
