Default Pacesetter Header Gaskets? Mr. Gasket vs Remflex?

When I put my headers on I used Mr. Gasket Ultra Seal gaskets with my Pacesetter long tube headers. I haven't driven it since installing them, but I'm getting ready to make the rest of the exhaust. After seeing soo many comments saying to go with Remflex gaskets, I'm wondering if I should swap these out for Remflex gaskets before I put the rest of the exhaust on? Or should I just leave the Mr. Gasket gaskets on there?

My concern is that once I weld the exhaust on, I'm not going to be able to remove the headers. Even if I clamp the y-pipe on, I highly doubt it'll come apart, so I'd rather change the gaskets now if I need to rather than later.

If you are looking for insurance, and want to be SURE they don't leak, put the remflex on NOW, before it gets too much more difficult.

Thanks. If they are much better I may go ahead and order them. Are the Remflex 6004 the ones you guys are using? They say for a Mopar small block from 93+.

Remflex. I used them with the jba headers on my V10. It's been a few years now and still tight and quiet.
