I used the Hi-Temp gasket material from Napa for over 8 years and no problems. Just cut a square out, lay it on top of the manifold, rub the plastic part of your screwdriver to make an impression on the gasket material and use a carpet knife to cut it out. I also used Red RTV when putting it together.
I'm sure the gaskets directly from Stainless would be best. If you can get them do it.

depending on the type of gasket material ( merc gaskets have a silver coating on them that does not like any sealer ) I like to use aviation permatex because it penetrates the gasket a little and makes for a great seal

Tell brownie the jet boat risers came out mint. We fired it up Sunday afternoon & idle @ 1800 rpm for 30 minutes. Snapped the throttle a few times and shook the house & the neighbors came to "visit".
