Cool Exhaust gaskets and header bolts.

I have hooker LT headers on my 96 formula. I am looking to see what gaskets people are running. I blew out the gaskets that came with the headers in less than a year and I want to know what are the best gaskets to run with those headers? Also what company makes headers bolts that are allen head? The one that I have on there are 12 point, but I have a really hard time tightening the back bolt because it is so close to the header. Thanks.

i've had the gaskets that came with my pacesetters on for a while and theyy've been great so far. from what i've read, the triple steel (factory) gaskets are excellent. also, people claim that the super-soft aluminum gaskets (or whatever they're called) are good too. as far as the bolts being too close to the primaries, i had to use a special angled wrench to get in there. can you believe pacesetter gave me ONE smaller-sized bolt because one of the pipes bend right over top of a hole... it's absolutely rediculous.
