Which collector gasket?

whats up guys.
I just put a set of Heddman Elite full length headers on the other day and i'm wondering which collector gasket is the best.
I heard some good things abou the Mr.gasket ultra seal and also Flow-tech's soft aluminum gaskets.
What do you guys think?

I havent ever used the aluminum ones, but I have heard a lot of good things about the soft copper ones. Just be sure to re-tighten them after a couple or days.
Good luck

Soft aluminum all the way.. and definetly retighten them like the other guy said. I've tried it all.. single gaskets, double gaskets RTV.. the only thing that finally held was aluminum. And then a bolt fell out.. So tighten them and you should be good! Of course once I fixed the collector the gasket at the head blew which is actually a 10 minute job on a truck. I went with an aluminum soft gasket there as well.. love'em!

I used soft aluminum on my mustang. No complaints here for aluminum.
