Default gasket? what to choose for header? on b16 ..i dont know differences help

hey ht members thx for opening thread, i recently bought d-c 4-1 stainless steel headers and forgot to purchase gaskets, seller never mentioned it did not come with them what are best gaskets "oem"
metal rubber sealed im not to sure and dont care which one gives beetter performance, I am more interested in the safest one that will not crack or loosen over time !

technically , a header gasket and OEM manifold gasket are nothing alike. get a header gasket in my opinion.

thanks. quite funny. but maybe a real cheap gasket might not fit perfect and have a drag effect on the exhaust flow. but you can always line it up and look. then make corrections with a dremel or something.
