Header Gasket

I am installing a set of TIPS Headers on my 1985 Corvette. What header (exhaust) gasket would you suggest using and where is the best place to purchase it. Any other installation suggestions will be appreciated. I have the TPIS "Y" pipe to fit my 1985 so hope installation is not too dificult.

I like the FelPro gaskets as well. I also use HiTemp RTV sealant on the gaskets. Never had leaks using these products.

I'm using Percy's deadsoft aluminum gaskets. Have yet to have to re-tighten them and they're reusable if you ever have to take it apart. $35 at Summit.

Second Question On Header Gaskets

Does a 1985 with stock (iron) heads use a square or round gasket?

Fel-Pro #1406 header gaskets #FPP-1406 are what I used.
