Which would you rather do?

1. Get felpros for less money and constantly have to retighten them and even then have a blow out forcing you to by them again or

2. Get Percy's ALUMINUM gasket for a bit more and bolt them in once and never have to deal with it again. No need to retighten.

The choice is yours.

BTW I bought the Felpros because they were recommended and as instructed, retightened them for about 2 weeks after each firing of the car which was a total pain in the azz and still ended up buying percy's because the felpros were constantly leaking. I bolted up the ALUMINUM gaskets 2 years ago and never had to even think about it. So I recommend to anyone to do it right the first time and get Percy's aluminum gaskets at Summit. I should be a sales rep for summit or Percy's or something. LOL!

Go to summit and search for this part# EAR-29DA3B.

These gaskets are the shiznit and if you have to pull the headers for some reason, all you have to replace are the inserts.

Thanks Tony, I forgot to mention that added benefit.

I've had my Fel-Pros for about 1k miles now and haven't retightened them at all. So far, no problems.
