Header decision

I guess I will go with pacesetter long radius ceramic coated headers and use copper or aluminum gaskets?

either those or the stock gm gaskets will work great

i have even heard that the gaskets supplied with the pacesetters have worked well for alot of people, but after putting them in i dont know if i would want to take that chance of having to replace the gaskets. not for the 20 bills you can buy a good set for

Thanks, for all replies. i have a friend who says he liked the copper gaskets but sounds like different strokes.

Ive personally just put my long tubes in and couldnt get the coppers to seal worth crap and sucks cuz it aint a fun job putting new gaskets in. Go with the Fel Pro 1406s or the Mr Gasket 5903s and you will not have a problem!
