Question header leaking need help

I have a bad mab header 3 inch zzp dp to a custom 3 inch exhaust. Only problem is my header.gasket is crappy apparently and keeps leaking! Had it put on by a professional exhaust shop and everything.

What is the BEST exhaust manifold gasket to use?

Thanks.

Did you use the gasket from Bad Mab? It's trash.
GM would be the best.

Mr. Gasket 5961 Ultra Seal Exhaust Gasket Material : Amazon.com : Automotive Mr. Gasket 5961 Ultra Seal Exhaust Gasket Material : Amazon.com : Automotive

You cut it out to the header flange, it seals amazingly because it is a graphite material. It will seal any shitty warped flange
