Hooker Supercomp gaskets

I have a set of soft aluminum gaskets on my super comps and they leaked.... Another $35 wasted.

I'm going to try the copper gaskets the next go-around, along with cutting the flanges free from each other so the end tubes are seperate from the center tubes. This along with locking header bolts. If all else fails, I'll MIG weld the damn things on.... :x
