Default Need New Header Gaskets + Help

So my header gaskets are shot already. And it's freeking ticking again. I installed flowtech shortie smog header's, and used their gaskets. I read on this site that their gaskets arn't the greatest, but i hoping to get more than 3000 miles out of them. I mean damn!

Anyway, I need help figuring out which gaskets to get, and which ones will match the headers correctly.

Anyone know anything about these? They are the same style as my headers, and seem to be the only ones like them.

Or what about these?

If anyone else has any others, please let me know. I do NOT want to ahve to be replaceing these gaskets anymore!

Thanks guys.

I went with the Remflex gaskets and have not had any issues. Still working perfect after 6 months. I feel that they are worth the money.

Good luck as I also burnt out two what I thought were good sets before I installed the Remflex.

All the problems people seem to be having with headers on this site just seem to make me want to stay far away from them. IMO gains as small as you will see with them aren't worth all that trouble.

Been there done that...[:@]Stock manifolds are doing just fine.....If the rear bolt on the center flanges, drivers side wasn't such a pain in the a$$, I might would try again. Maybe... NOT!!!

Only vehicle I own without headers....
