Best brand of intake gaskets?
I`m installing a Dorman manifold on a 2001 Pontiac and was wondering what your recommendations are for upper and lower gaskets. Stock? Fel Pro? Victor? Something else? Also, Anything else I should change while I`m in there?

I am replacing almost ALL my gaskets with FelPro during thanksgiving break.
also, my dorman upper can with the upper gaskets and throttle body gaskets. FelPro for your lowers will work just fine.

yes do the lower. the hardest part is getting all the wires and crap out of the way.
the lower is another few bolts, and they are known to go bad. Do it while its easy.
