I still use the Remflex gaskets at the header to head interface and love them there. Just won't use them at the header to side pipe any longer.
Guess I should add that I used three sets of the flange gaskets and always had the same problems.

interesting, i had a problem with the bolts falling out before, 2 years now not a loose bolt to be found. I just use the regular bolts and locking nuts and lock washers. I know some people who claim grade 8 bolts make the problem worse but I cant comment.
