Never had an issue with those, as I use them on the 350z kits. The key to a non metal gasket is to go back and re-torque them after a couple of heat cycles. You do this because they compress a bit, and there is not as much force clamping them down.

The car that is being worked on had Stillen headers, and aftermarket test pipes. These were leaking a lot with the metal gasket.

I will see how this works out and as mentioned earlier, nothing will be sold untill this kit is working perfect.
That's why I am asking, yes the Berks gaskets are HORRIBLE on the 370. They blow out left and right. The 350 has no problem with them.

I know that you are mainly a 350 guy, and they gasket issue is 370 specific. This is why I am bringing it to your attention.

If the factory gasket is an option please try to work that into your system.
