Header gaskets

[TrueBlueSPEED]

I am getting ready to install a set of Hooker LT's. Which manufacturer makes the best gaskets? Just want to do it right the first time. I also will use stage 8 locking bolts.

I think Ford makes the best header gasket. Too bad they are $80 for a set.

I know a couple people who have run Fel Pro and both have had exhaust leaks. Might have been the gaskets fault might not have been, I don't know.

I've heard Bassani makes a really good gasket, never seen one in person. I think they are graphite or something?

Ill say this about the bassani gaskets my installer said they were some real good looking gaskets and they havent leaked in the 2 months ive had my midlengths on. I never looked at them as i just carted the whole box unopened to my installer

invest in ford gaskets... $80-$90 (about $44 per side)

I've had mine for almost a year now, no leak whatsoever

I used Percy on my first header install and on the second I just used some Felpro's I think. I cant reemmber the name but they were cheap.

The FelPros you can get at your local parts store are actually pretty good. I currently have Percy's gaskets from Summit Racing and they work well also. They are multi-layer dead-soft aluminum and seem to seal fine.
