header gaskets

What are most people using for header gaskets? I have the copperseals on there now, and the other day I had my header off and I could see exhaust marks where they were leaking at the center two cylinders.

I have the Percy's at the collector, I didnt know they made them for the flange. Where did you get them?, Summit or Jeg's, or an auto parts store?

I have percy's aluminum header gaskets and collector gaskets. The header gaskets are awesome as long as you put them in right. (don't ask). The collector gaskets are basically just 1/8" aluminum plates that are cut out in the shape of a collector. All in all, they are great. Summit or jegs has them.

I picked up a set of the Percy's collector gaskets at AutoZone. They also had the header gaskets there. I believe most autopart stores are starting to carry them now.

Ordering my dead soft aluminum gaskets this week. Total comes to a little over $50. But for 0 exhaust leaks, it will be worth it to me.
