Default TPIS headers question

I just bought a used set of TPIS LT headers for my 2000c5 and I need to get gaskets. What gaskets are you guys using? Part numbers if possible. :D

The shop that installed mine recommended high quality copper gaskets. I don't know who makes them specifically, but they have worked great for the 1 1/2 years I've had the headers on my car. No leaks or any other types of problems.

I used the stock GM gaskets on the last set of TPIS I installed. If the flanges aren't warped you won't have a problem :yesnod: The only set of headers I had trouble with was an early set of FLPs, the flanges were very warped and needed a thick gasket to seal properly. The headers were replaced with a newer set of FLPs and the stock GM gaskets were used without incident.
