For those with headers come in!!!!

Well, I just scored myself brand new hedman headers for a 2.8 camaro.:lala: :lala: I was wondering what type of gaskets I should use to seal them up the heads with. Will regular manifold gaskets work or is there some better type of gasket to use. I heard that header gaskets are thicker than regular manifold gaskets, but have no idea where I can get myself some of those. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

With my new dynomax catback and high flow cat I hope to see some real gains with the headers. I am also having a new Y-pipe made. I should also be getting a hypertech chip pretty soon as well. Hopefully that will give me some noticable gains in power.

$195 Plus shipping back. I also had two flanges done at 5 bucks a piece. Total was 195 plus 10 plus 25 = $230

I also had to pay to ship them there , but well worth it I think!
