I'VE USED THE COPPER GASKETS WITH MIXED RESULTS. ON GOOD HEADERS, WITH A 3/8" FLANGE (HOOKER SUPER COMP. OR DOUG THORLYS) THEY WORK GREAT. BUT ON A SET OF CHEAPIE HEADERS THAT I HAD ON ONE OF MY TRUCKS, THEY WOULDN'T SEAL AT ALL. AS FAR AS THE STAGE "8" LOCKS, IT WOULD BE THE BEST $35 YOU EVER SPENT. I'VE BEEN USING THEM FOR YEARS & WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER RUNNING HEADERS WITHOUT THEM. I CAN'T STREES ENOUGH HOW NICE IT IS TO HAVE HEADERS THAT NEVER EVER COME LOOSE & LEAK.
