Header collector gasket choice?
Too much exhaust is getting in the car when I run the heat during a stop. I need better collector gaskets. What do you recommend? Felpro? Mr. Gasket?
Any of these good for a tight seal?

I run dead soft aluminum gaskets, but they do leak, however I do not care because they don't leave any mess if I'm taking the y-pipe out.
Are you absolutely sure, without a doubt, posolutely, one-hundred percent sure your headers are not leaking?

The smell is real strong when I'm at a stop and I have the windows open. The header bolts are on at tight as I can get them. I was thinking that the #1 primary tube is leaking since I never put any gasket sealer on but I doubt all the fumes are coming from that one primary.
The SLP tailpipes are on the driver side and I have no cats so it could be possible it could all be wafting in from the rear. I just hate reaking of fuel every time I drive and have the windows open or use the heat.
I was thinking of getting on of those cheap CO detectors and placing it near all the pipes to maybe get a general idea what's leaking if anything at all.

They kept blowing on me; I cut the flanges off, welded on a section of swolen tube and made a slip fit with 3" wide band clamps.
Have not had an issue (clearance or leaks) since

I had a header gasket leak that only Earl's pressure master graphite foil gasket could fix....apparently they really do seal 1200% better as advertised lol. Nicest gaskets I've ever seen....they make high quality collector gaskets too worth taking a look at:
