Default Exhaust Manifold Gaskets

I need to replace bank 1 gasket. Anyone know what is good between these from RA?

The stock gaskets are MLS (multi layer steel) I would get a set that looks steel and not composite

Felpro is usually the best with gaskets and their photos aren’t always up to date in my experience

Got my 03GS3 diagnosed at exhaust shop today. UGH! My Rock Auto cats I had put on, bank one has a crack right at manifold. Warranty refund, but they don't carry the ones I bought originally. Hmm. wonder why. LOL! Ordered another set today and will have to ship my defective ones back. Ordered the OEM exhaust manifold gaskets. I should get all parts next week. I cannot enjoy my Tanabe Medallion exhaust yet. Someday my GS will be in great shape! Still no car payment. Someday. Someday.
