Header collector gaskets!

My SCE copper header collector gaskets failed. Tried to tighten them up and spun them and re-torqued and still leaking. So thinking need new gaskets but not sure what to buy now.

I have the ball and socket connector which uses no gaskets...

Do I need to change headers to go that route?

my Headman headers came with them but there are kits

I use the dead soft aluminum gaskets on my collectors and they seal great. Summit also has a piece that welds to your headpipe that works well, I think they are called header buddies or something.

Slather some red rtv on both sides of the copper. See if that works.
