a year latter and still no leaks 
which gasket ?
which gasket ? I've got a 02 ws6 m6 gettin ready to install pacesetter LT's which gaskets do u guys recomend. I dont want to use the paper gaskets which came w/ the headers cause i dont want a header gasket leaking within the first 20 miles. should i use copper or aluminum ?
If your stock gaskets are still decent you can reuse them or go to the dealer and get new stock manifold gaskets. They work great with headers. If your Pacesetters came with the newer copper gaskets you can use those. I was anticipating getting the crappy paper ones with my Pacesetters so I bought the stock ones before the headers arrived. Then they arrived with the copper ones 
I still used the new stock ones.

my stock metal manifold gaskets were seperating and falling apart, but I was to cheap to buy new ones. I figured if they didn't work I could take them off and replace them. Over a year later they are still on and absolutely no leaks. Just throw those paper ones away, they will last less than a year and you'll be mad having to change them.
If your headers have the three hole collectors-the non slip on type but rather bolt on. Do yourself a favor and get some aluminum gaskets instead of paper, those paper ones down there last even less time.
