That's what I use now. The headers built for most of our cars are quite robust and inflexible and this would seem to be the reason the thin MLS gaskets hold up so well. I’ve tried various other “header gaskets” only to have them each fail inside 6 months. The last time I had the headers out, the only thing I had on the shelf was the OEM type MLS gaskets so I put them in. Viola’ no more leaks and 2k miles later the bolts (which were installed with anti-seize) are still tight.
