Buy the percy's and be done with it. The remflex if u bend it on accident or drop it when installing headers (especially long tubes they're a wrap. Percy's u can use over and over and over again.

Now can yall reuse the remflex gaskets?
I tried those while trying to install longtubes and they suck if u bend them its a wrap. And you u can't reuse them.
Get these and never look back. Buy remflex and rebuy when u take the headers off.

If you can't afford new header gaskets for $30 then you shouldn't modify your car. Reusing gaskets is a stupid idea...

Whenever u wanna run my percy's sealed car lmk. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I Dont like spending money twice on stuff when i dont have to. I'm guessing u never ran the percy's. Ive been there done that and like i said above i tried the remflex and yeah they might seal but with as much as i change my combos i dont need to spend another $30 like u rich guys,

matter of fact , ive used those percys on another car, its layerd aluminum. i forgot why i didnt like it, i think it still had a leak or it didnt seal all the way, kragens has a similiar stly as well. i didnt like it. they where like the copper ones.they dont seal 100 percent. when u take them off u can see lil black lines where exaust gasses was slippin by in spots. maybe gd where your at the track an dont care if u got a lil leak like most real race cars,and u wana swap stuff more offen than normal, but if u want a 100 percent seal, no header bolts ever cuming loose ,u know your combo and wont be changeing it like underwear stay with the remflex.it is delicate when putting on so sum experience not being a gorrila is required.

Just fn wit u. haha
i just realllllllly dont like them remflex's they left me stuck missing a ride out cause i couldn't lift the header (longtube) into place and hold the gasket there. As soon as it fell and bent they fell apart. I could see how they could seal any warped flange issue though there hella thick.
