Default Are FelPro gaskets a good replacement for GM gaskets?
I am ordering some gaskets for some upcoming mods. I was just wondering if felpro gaskets are good? For example intake, timing cover, valve cover, etc...

I have felpro intake and T body gaskets on my engine. I was very happy with the quality. Interested to see if anyone has had any problems with them. I doubt it though.

I ordered PN:CS9284 when building my 408 and I haven't had any problems. I would go with it again

felpro intake gaskets are a big improvement over the stock orange ones!

I always use FelPro, never a single issue with them.

You won't have any problems with Fel Pro gaskets. But sometimes the dealer is cheaper on the OEM's. Just depends on which gasket you need.

FelPro gaskets are what I always use. I've even used their TTY head bolts without issue. I usually order them from Rockauto.

I have found most all the GM Gaskets were cheaper in price then the Felpro. Especially if you shop around. I definitely prefer the GM exhaust gaskets over the Felpro's
