Default Header Gasket Question

I am going to be doing some work on my intake through exhaust on my tC; K&N Typhoon intake, DC Sports Header, ZPI S-pipe, ZPI Catback, with the o2 sim. I am planning on getting a new exhaust manifold gasket, just incase.

Are there any other options out there other than getting one from Toyota? Any help would be great!

Settle down buddy I am asking the questions around here! j/k
I was wondering if there were anyother gaskets of better quality, if not oh well I'll just stick with the OEM one.

While OEM gaskets may be sufficient for OEM components they are not ALWAYS the best solution for aftermarket applications. It's always best to go with the recommendations of the aftermarket manufacturer, they know the most about their own product and can best answer this question for you.

The stock gasket is a multi layer steel piece. It should be more then suffcient for your needs.

Sweet was not sure about the composition of the OEM gasket, but now it that I know the make up, it will be more than sufficient. Either which way the DC Sports FAQ states that the design thier headers to use the OEM gaskets and seals. Thanks for the help!
