I have a slight exhaust leak and my mechanic said it was coming from the header gaskets. Whats the best header gaskets for a 5.0 mustang? I currently have BBK 1 5/8" headers, if that matters.

I always run the felpro P/N 1415 and never had issues!

Felpros are good but for the best seal, get some Percys Seal-4-good gaskets. Theyre the best on the market I think.

Gus, there is nothing to debate here.
Go to autozone and ask for a felpro 1415
good luck

The Earls Stainless Steel ones with the inserts are nice since you are able to buy replacment inserts. [ August 06, 2007, 12:29 AM: Message edited by: Trunkster ]
-------------------- Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free? I act like I'm@Age15 I make friends on the internet that are@Age18 I was picked on in my youth so I became a bully@Age24 My mouth started to run 24/7 on the internet, but my car never at the track@Age26 First pubic hair@Age30 Troll@Age31 My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31 Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31 Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?
