My percy dead soft leaked bad. That explains my way rich problem. New headers, straight flanges and tight bolts and they still didn't seal correctly.
I have ssen the earls, that'll be my next choice. A little pricy but if they don't leak, they'd be worth every penny. Plus the inserts are replaceable.

Percy's dead soft aluminum weren't so good for me, I had to retighten the bolts 4 or 5 times and they still leaked a little.
This was on JetHot/Hookers.

the only funny thing about those earl gaskets the inserts are only about 10 dollars cheaper than the whole gasket itself. at least through the guy I got them from.
