Header gaskets

Im just looking for some feedback on a good thick set of header gaskets for my GTO. Im running the pacesetter long tubes. Any suggestions would be cool.

Thanks

The general consensus is to run a new set of stock multi-layer exhaust gaskets, that's what I did and it works great.

I have always heard that you have to run an actual header gasket becuase they are thicker. So you guys are just running the oe manifold gaskets huh. I will give it a shot i guess.

Depending on what shape your's are in, you may not even need new ones. On my brother's 35th Ann. SS (with 4500 miles), we simply reused his originals. You may be able to do the same.
