Keep burning out gaskets

Has any one had problems with burning out the gasket between the header and down pipe? I've gone through six in three months since I put the header in.

That seems to be a common problem with the ZZP Header/Downpipe. And as said above... get a hard metal one, not one of those foil jokers.

My zzp combo is going back on. It didnt sound like it was leaking though the black on the gasket shows if it wasnt it was about to.

So you guys recommend one of the metal gaskets?
