Exhaust manifold gaskets

I used a muti-layer copper gasket, but I'll be dammed if I can remember the brand name. :BangHead:
I like the idea of no gasket. Maybe if these ever fail, I will try it, but I do have Eddy heads on it though.
Are you running manifolds or headers? The manifold on the driver's side hits the head where the exit port is on my Eddy heads, hence the need for the gasket. I have to use a header flange to space the manifold away from the head enough to get a seal on the manifold when torqued down. Do you possibly have a better approach to this issue? Edelbrock couldn't give me any ideas.
