Default Whats the best exhaust manifold gasket
Well came to the conclusion that I have a bad manifold and its not leaking by the broken manifold bolt, so I will be buying a set of long tubes and the best exhaust manifold gaskets, I did a search and percys header gaskets look to be the best is that true or you guys know anything better

the best gasket is the stock gasket. i have re-used mine 10-12 times and they still seal perfectly.

My stock ones are not sealing up at all end up changing them with a set of felpros still leaked i looked again at the felpros and can tell it leaking on cylinders 3 5 and 7 on bottom side of each cylinder, cylinder 1 is not leaking and that has the broken manifold bolt

I don't off-hand. I ordered my last set from the local dealership. Sdparts.com may have them.
