What?
This is why I hate parts stores. ****ing idiots.



I have a felpro gasket, about a year old and it's fine. Dealer was closed,so it was my only choice. If you can get OEM fine, but as long as you don't get some cheap *** gasket you will be fine as well.

Try to get a metal one and you should be fine.

You won't have to scrape a metal one from the head/header if you ever have to remove the header down the road (to replace oil pan gasket/etc)

I've always reused the stock gasket with no problems or leaks, unless you have a 4-2-1 and need the gasket that goes between the 4-2 section. In that case you'll need to make one using the exhaust gasket material sheets by Mr Gasket.

Or just use high temp RTV. I never had the mid gasket on my old headers, and I've never had the correct gasket between my turbo and downpipe, and RTV has always done the job.
