Belanger header gasket replacement needed

[Detlef]

I have developed a exhaust leak and need a new gasket. Does anyone know if the standard Dodge exhaust manifold gaskets will work with the Belanger headers? If not what should I get as a replacement?

The factory metal gaskets work and are preferred for the header to heads.

I just did a search which confirms this. Thanks.

I second what carguy07 said. I blew out a Belanger composite gasket and now have stock metals with no issues.

Same here. I used the Belanger gaskets and a few months later developed an exhaust leak. Header bolts had loosened over time - I should have re-torqued then after a couple of heat cycles. Replaced with stock metal gaskets - no problem.
