What is the best gasket to use when installing
RAIII exhaust manifolds? I'm concerned the flexable steel gasket may cover some of the port. Napa auto shop said that I'll be fine installing the manifold right to the clean head with some high temp silicone atv sealant. Port matching is then no issue. Any help would be appreciated!

You could do both and it will work. I use the gaskets that i trimmed and no chance of leaks.

Use the steel gaskets and spray them with some copper coat sealer.
