+1 those paper gaskets just plain suck. If you REALLY need another gasket either go to Ford and get a replacement or Felpro works just as good

Mac prochambers used to have a problem sealing on the passenger side exhaust manifold. If I remember correctly the OEM studs weren't able to tighten up enough to create a good seal between the manifold and prochamber. I was also concerned about this when I got my prochamber so I picked up an exhaust manifold stud kit from napa auto parts and a new gasket from Ford. However, Mac fixed the problem by also including some sort of sleeve that goes inside the passenger side prochamber pipe that connects to the manifold. I did use the new ford gasket. I've had no problems at all with the prochamber.
