Cheapest place for gaskets?
I just bought a complete exhaust setup for my IROC-Z.
I am in need of:
-Copper Header Gaskets
-two 3" Collector gaskets
-two 3.5" collector gaskets
-Header bolts - BEST STYLE THAT WONT BACKOUT
If anyone has any ideas where I can buy all of those at a reasonable price, lemme know.

Yes. Copper =****.
Bolts are almost all alike. Run to the parts store look for flowtech gaskets. The collector gaskets come with new bolts t wo of your problems solved and these are some of the best gaskets. The Header gaskets thye make are super thick aluminum and laso dont blow out or leak if installed on a clean surface. As far as the header to head bolts use lock washers and a tad bit of locktite. Funny though I have nothing special on my bolts and none of them have come loose.
USE THE FLOWTECH GASKETS!!!
Your life will be sooo much easyer!

I don't think copper is neccessary. I've heard sometimes they don't seal right, but are reusable.
Personally a friend of mine turned me onto Napa Nitro Seal header gaskets. Cost like $25 and sealed PERFECT and fine. No leaks at all.
