Ok so my observations based on the work I completed on my truck.
The Remflex gaskets are THICK, that's why they will seal warped manifolds. If you look at my pictures you will see how out of plane each port was on my manifolds. Would remflex seal the leaks alone without resurfacing my manifolds, Probably but they wouldn't relieve the stress that is on the bolts to pull the manifolds to the head and would most likely break again in the future.
I went with the complete kit I did costing me $70.60 knowing I was going to resurface my stock manifolds. To resurface the manifolds is an easy fairly quick process and will greatly reduce the potential for this job to be completed again anytime soon.
Your choice in what route you take but to me I'm done experimenting with unproven products or half assing a job to make it "easier" because taking them off and on is the 90% of the battle doing this.
