I bought the maxspeed headers and love them but the supplied gaskets are crap. They are two pices metal with some kind of filler sandwiched in between. The filler crumbels out and leaks. I fixed the leak three times, before i dug the old porsche gasket out of the garage and used it, no problems from then on.
The porsche gasket is just a sheet of metal and I cant see how that goes bad.

If you dont use the old one, at least go buy a new porsche gasket from the dealer.
Dont use the maxspeed gaskets if you can help it.

Buy new bolts as well, my old bolts fell out all over the highway and they where a huge problem. Also I used high heat antiseze stuff that helps keep them in there and also from getting stuck.
