go to autozone/ kragens, and look at the performance isle. they have the thick mettle ones and just port match then your self it'll take 20 mins. best way for the max power with no leak.

I always use a layer of Permatex Ultra Copper gasket maker on my header gaskets and the ball fittings for the headers and catback. This stuff seals well and lasts. We used it without a gasket on our circle track car and it never blew out or leaked at all. Of all things, I hate exhaust leaks with a passion! [patriot]
