Best Intake Gasket

I have a 99 3.8L. Needs a new intake Gasket. Which is the best to buy and do I need the 2nd design with the locating pins? I am going to do the thermostat, valve covers, and the elbows at the same time.

you need the metal ones 2nd, the first ones are plastic and will fail again. amazon usually sells them for around $50, vs auutozones $90

Buy a set of Fel-Pro one's and you'll be fine.

Yeah felpro makes the metal ones also, don't go the all the work to put plastic crap back in there, it's the reason GM changed designs.
