Best Gasket for headers ?
I'll be ordering my longtubes later on this week, and want to know what brand makes the best gasket. Also where can I order, and how much?

Well if they are jethot's i know that the gaskets that came with them are GREAT. Here's a trick, let them soak in fairly warm water for 10 minuntes before you install them. They will make a perfect seal after
