Default Exhaust header gaskets
What's a good exhaust header gasket (I'm running shorty headers) that doesn't incur the regular corvette tax?

The stock MLS manifold gaskets are as good as any. Percy's seal 4 Good's are also very good. Around $40 on that auction site. That's what I'm running with LT's. M8.

I was actually looking at those, they looked good but I'm wary of anything that is sold on that auction site.

I used the GM# 126 17944, they are metal gaskets, and they are round to match the header flange and seal perfect.

They are about $40 at a chevy dealer or you can probably save some if you can wait for shipping and order them from Gene Culley...

I used these for my header install.....

GM# 126 17944 is the new number that replaces GM# 126 00530, that replaced the older GM# 125 5873..........
