Ditto. No issues at all.

thanks guys - I'm going to go with it then....also, what side of the gasket faces the engine (one side has bigger steel ridges), & did you use any gasket product with it? - thanks again
 
I put the bigger ridges toward the head. I also used spray-on copper gasket sealant (Permatex, I think). Don't know if I needed it, but all is well, so far.

If your're going to leave the rest of your exhaust hooked up (from the downpipe back), put the donut gasket on the header first. It was hard to push the downpipe out of the way, and then try to pound on the donut after the install.
