IMO......I would go with the Cometic vs. the Felpro but honestly if you are not doing anything but normal use of your GSR get one from Honda/Acura! and it will cost less than the Cometic.

cometic for a turbo motor or if you are trying to change the compression ratio of the motor.

if you are just replacing it and daily driving,
OEM gasket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! use as many OEM gaskets as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1

Cometics can be a bitch to seal + OEM's are pretty stout. . .

Just noticed, damn Jay, haven't seen you on the forum in forever.
