The gaskets that came with my mac equal lengths dont look bad, but looks can be deceiving... Will they leak when paired with these locking header bolts?

I've used them without any issues, if you want something different look into the Fel-Pro 1415.

Never tried the copper ones, but I'll definitely second the Fel-Pro 1415's if you decide not to use them. They seal great and have a steel mesh inside them for strength. Plus, I've been able to reuse the same set of gaskets lots of times when I had to pull my headers off.

On the copper subject, I've been advised by people more knowelegable than myself that they aren't a good idea on fuel injected applications because there is a greater chance of small exhaust leaks which can throw off 02 sensor readings.
