header gaskets for hooker super comp longtubes

what header gaskets work best with my hooker headers? the MAC mid's that were on the car had some copper Mr. Gasket gaskets on there but the ports on my headers are bigger than the holes in the gasket. just curious if anyone knows a brand that the gaskets are as big as the header ports. thanks

I've never had problems with the Fel-Pro 1406s. Can't beat the price either.

FelPros work nice, just tighten you bolts up good and check em often after you first put them on.
If you end up blowing one out, it's a PITA to change.

Alternatively, use locking bolts
I like Percy's dead-soft gaskets and Stage 8 bolts.
I've actually reused the Percy's twice without a leak.
Well worth the investment.

I have the same set of fel-pros that i first bought in 1999....they have been on and off more times than I can count, This is also opened up so not much back pressure.

I do have an extra set just incase....I have used the percy's also on other stuff....was not impressed, nut that was also due to a warped header flange, got it machined and used the percy's...still leaks
