I have the cometic but havnt really driven my car hard. Just put it back on the ground and still needs some cosmetic work. If anything bad happens I'll let ya know.

If you want to do it right the first time.Dont get the Cometic,Iv seen soooo many of these things leak..Stick with Greddy,Apexi,Tomie,HKS,Nismo.Iv used all of these before and they will NOT leak on you.

I have to disagree with this - we have sold hundreds of Cometic MHG with not one return. Greddy / Trust sucks, many sealing problems with that one. Apexi are good, hard to find, Power Enterprise the same.

I personally havent had any problems with my cometic gasket.

Ive seen many SRs with leaking metal headgasket regardless of the brand. Ive seen Greddys, Apex, cometic, all leak. Id have to say that usually when these gaskets fail, the reason is for install error, bad tuning, knocking, nitrous backfire etc, and not because of the actual gasket. The problem is that when anyone has a problem with a certain brand gasket, they tend to not ever go back to that brand and sometime bash the crap out of it.
