Collector Gaskets and Bolts

What are you guys using for the collector gaskets and bolts? Its a 3/8 bolt right? So a set of 3/8 bolts for collectors and a 3 inch collector gasket is what I need? Looking at this set up from Summit, part # BIG-10025FLT

I always used the 3" Felpro gaskets and 3/8 bolts. Then double nutted them so they will not vibrate loose.

I've been told that the percy soft aluminum gaskets were some of the best...I got some for my header and collector.You can get em at autozone, summit, or jegs.

I use 3/8 bolts and lock nuts and NAPA has 3" collector gaskets that have a lead type coating on them great gasket if they start to leak just tighten them they never blow out
