header gaskets

Has anyone actually used the header gaskets that came with the jet hot headers, and if so have you had any problems with them blowing out?

I don't know the quality of the paper gaskets. But i do know i used the metal stock replacement gaskets from GM on my mac's and never had a leak for almost 2 years.

I'd be on the safe side and get felpro gaskets... because it's a waste of time to get them all the way on and take them off because the gaskets burnt up when all you had to do is spend a little more money... I would also throw in some stage 8 locking bolts too
