Best Gaskets For MAC Headers?

I installed the MAC headers on my car late last summer. I was going to use the Fel Pro Gaskets (1406 I believe), but when I lined them up on the headers they didn't exactly match up. So me being impatient like I am, did something stupid and used the gaskets that came with the headers. Now I think I might have a leak and want to change the gaskets. So what are the best for the MAC's? Thanks.

Used GM gaskets on mine. Put them on about a year ago not 1 single problem or leak to date.

I used the MAC supplied paper gaskets with mine for like 4 years and had no problems. We took the MACs off and put them on a bud's car and when we did so used the GM factory gaskets and no problems there either.

Thanks guys. Maybe I'll check the Header to Y-pipe connection first, before I go threw all the hassle of changing header gaskets.
