Felpro's have always worked well for me. Currently Im using the ones that came supplied with my Kooks headers. They are made by Percys and have a carbon fiber type coating on them. No issues with them either.

A lot of us DSM guys, since we have a problem with leaking gaskets. We use copper gaskets with embossments around the ports, they stopped my leaks around my ports and between my manifold and turbo. Good thing about copper is it seals really good around the ports.
This is what I use >Copper Gaskets on my Eagle talon. If you can find another place that makes the same stuff, you would be in luck.

I had coppers on for 15 min before they leaked like a hose. I put the percys aluminum ones on and they worked great, no leaks at all.
