Default Paper or Copper?

Exhaust gasket!
I have 2 HD paper gaskets that came with my stud kit and have 2 copper gaskets from daves.
Opinions?

We've had better luck with paper gaskets and the stud kits the jetpro have been tight with with stud kits rob64n he has cut off the flange and changed to go with a thicker one and bent the header in on both sides so the stud kit fits better. I was lucky my cpi fit great

I hear you my little 110volt wire feed welder comes in very handy along with the air compressor and an air grinder with a cutoff wheel here's a pic of my little corner for my R/C's
