Post MSDS Headers/gaskets

Ready to install MSDS headers on 1989 944 NA. I know that welding needed to connect to cat or straight pipe and that gasket included....I assume that 4 gaskets are needed where headers attach to head??? Does anyone have any experience with this and what material would those gaskets be made of to withstand the heat???? Help anyone. Thanks

I used factory gaskets. I got a set of MSDS headers with a complete custom exhaust.

I put mine on myself

i used the old gaskets for the head...

i didnt have the welded part welded on...

and if you have plans on jacking the front end up and installing it, make sure you jack up both side or else the motor will be twisted in a way that it wont install

Both me and Space will/are running Speedforce Racing Superchargers. I have a 3" exhaust with cat from the headers to the tip. I love it, but can get real loud even with the cat in place.
