Yep, same here. Those stock mls gaskets from the dodge dealer are great, and cheap too.

Same with the stock OE header/exhaust manifold gaskets...I can't find any aftermarket ones that work any better. The ones supplied with most header packages out there, seem kinda crappy compared to the stock ones.

If anyone needs one, here are some cores for next to nothing (they are not mine, or anyone I know): Link . Soon it'll probably be common to find 5.7s laying in the weeds here and there, like 383s used to be.
