I'm putting the long tube headers in as soon as they arrive and for cheap insurance I wanted to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets at the same time. What is the best option and where do I get them at? Thanks

Disclaimer: I have no personal experience with Corvette exhaust manifold gaskets.
Opinion: GM makes a lot of good components for its vehicles (most of my experience is with the various GM diesel pickup trucks) so if no one else has a strong opinion, I would suggest that you consider new stock GM exhaust manifold gaskets for use with your headers.
lol, are you a lawyer? I was actually seeing if they made any yet without the fiber insert in the middle so there would be no fear of a gasket leak in the future.

Thanx for bailing me out, Andreas. See, the factory gaskets DO have some good performance data.
No, I am not a lawyer, but I am an engineering consultant that testifies as an engineering expert witness for lawyers. I try to keep the lawyer's arguments consistent with Newton's Laws and the Laws of Thermodynamics.
GM gaskets. And you can re-use them over and over without any problems. Most of the LS1 world never even replaces them unless they get bent by accident.
