Felpro makes quality parts. They always have. I've always used them on my Race Marine SBC's. I don't know much about their LS1 line however. I got my OEM header gaskets from the dealer.

I just installed my Pacesetters a couple months ago and they DID come with some good looking copper gaskets. I had already bought the stockers from the dealer before I received the headers so I stood there with one in each hand during the install and decided that I would go with what I know works great.........the stockers. ($13 each from dealer)

All that came with mine were the thin paper ones. And I bought my set in may of this year.
