| I'm not an outrageously huge fan of the MLS gaskets because of the cost. I'm still a keep it simple kinda guy so I'm not always looking for the latest technical edge. I figure that if you find a gasket that works and fits in the budget, then there is no need to overkill the problem. If it ain't broke don't fix it mentality.
However.....James builds some pretty damn good motors and he looks for every technical advantage he can get. So that deserves at least a listen. Even from an old fart like me.
On the exhaust gaskets though....I'm staying with what has been working for me. The aluminum or the fiber gaskets with aluminum inlays are budget friendly and are "fire and forget" parts. They'll last and not blow out or burn up.
If you are taking your headers off and putting them on regularly (I'm not sure why you would want to do that) then the MLS gaskets are the way to go. They are reusable and well worth the expense in the long run.
It all boils down to budget for me.
