They're like $40. Do yourself a favor and spare the pennies. Stage 8 locking bolts wouldn't be a bad idea either while you're at it...

I've always used the paper Mr. Gasket ones with zero problems. Just check your bolts after every couple times you drive it after you install them and then just check them when you change your oil.(should stay tight though)

If you want a bit of security, you could use the paper gaskets with a thin layer of Copper RTV. Most will say to run the RTV by itsself with no gasket, but ive not done this since ive had great luck with the paper gaskets.(knocks on wood)

I am using the ones that came with the BBK headers and no problems yet....they are stupid easy to change so if i ever blow one I will use the copper ones.
