Pacesetter metal gasket
Pacesetter metal gasket I just got my pacesetter longtubes in the mail. Everyone is telling me to get the oem gasket and dont use the paper pacesetter ones. Well the gaskets that came with mine are metal. Maybe pacesetter has changed there gaskets has anyone used these yet.

Pacesetter has been sending the copper gaskets for awhile now.
I used the copper ones on my Z28, and the stock ones on my GTO...no leaks with either one, so it's whatever you want. Also I used my stock header bolts.
i say go with metal gasket, no matter who makes it. Most of the time when people install headers they just start tightening bolts. People dont realize that you have to tighten them from the inside out, so that they dont get leaks.

Who sent you a copper one?? Pacesetter did, right? Either way try to get your hands on metal gasket from GM. If the copper one you're talking about is from GM go back to the stealership and see if they can get it in metal instead of copper.
