Having a hard time trying to stop exhuast Manifolds Leaks, Using felpro manifold gaskets, I had the manifolds resurfaces, should I try without gaskets?

Maybe try some header gaskets. Are the concave washers installed facing the right way?

I have had my Hemi car for 33 years, and the right side exhaust manifold still likes to leak for a few minutes on a cold start up.
I tried header gaskets and also Chryslers OEM gaskets with no real luck.
The only thing that "slowed" the leaking down a bit was using a thin layer of Permatex Ultra-Copper RTV along with the gasket.
It's almost livable now!
