Any suggestions on good header gaskets??? Not too expensive, but great quality header gaskets...??? I am doing a ls1 swap and just ordered my headers...how do you guys feel about copper or aluminum gaskets??? I prefer those because i had regular ones on my old motor and i use to get exhaust leaks all the time...switched to aluminum gaskets and never had a leak again.

Stock metals work amazingly well. My 98 has 105k miles and I reused mine and the headers do not leak! Most people recommend stock replacements though.

STOCK, did a header and head swap and another head change still good . I think they are copper internal and tin/aluminum coated. If you want a new one go to GM. No other compairs, but at the right tourqe setting just ad 5lbs if useing original gasket and it's good as new!
