Is that gasket for headers or manifolds?? Or does it not matter?
Are you running headers, have you had any problems??

Thanks

They are the GM gasket for manifolds and also work for headers, I used the GM header flange #12480130 when I made my headers.

Commercial headers use a similar flange as far as I know and the gasket would work there as well.

What is that gasket for??
It fits between the header flange and the cylinder head to prevent exhaust gases from leaking around the flange.
