exhaust manifold gaskets
has anyone replaced their exhaust manifold gaskets lately? can you tell me if there is any difference between oems and aftermarkets. not much difference in price so that is not an issue. more concerned about thickness and durability. installing ghostriders headers soon and want the best gaskets. TIA.

The factory gaskets are actually the best ones to use. They are metal and have an indentation that helps hold them to the engine block.

I saw your email, but my phone is acting up. These guys look legit, they are most likely a dealer that sells parts online. I have used this site before:
