Copper exhaust manifold gasket vs OEM Honda gasket
I'm installing my DC Sports header this weekend. So, I'll be installing a new exhaust manifold gasket. Is it worth it to fork over the extra money for a Mr. Gasket (or similar) copper gasket, or will an OEM Honda one work just as well? Other than intake and exhaust, I don't have any other engine mods.

OEM.
Copper is used cause it's softer and will mesh better. However, you won't need it.
It is just another thing to waste money on unless you are running a turbo with a lot of boost......N/A = OEM.
