Exhaust Gaskets

[poormillionaire2]

I just bought some manifold gaskets from Advance Auto Parts to replace the paper ones I got with my headers. I believe they were OE because I put them next to each other, and the paper ones were bigger than the ones I got from Advanced. All the bolt holes lined up, but the port designs were a bit different at the bottom; the paper ones were a bit longer. If I used the slightly smaller ones (compressed metal), would that cause a problem? Or should I try and find metal ones that fit exactly?

as long as they cover the holes it will be fine, put them on the manifold and look to see if it covers it.
