Shorty/HFC question

Getting ready to install a set of DT shorties and Solo HFC.
Should I be using the stock collector gasket, dimpled metal, or the one that comes with the Solo's?
Got everything else just want to do it once!

Not really interested in going to LT's. I'd like to keep the warranty intact as long as possible. Just want a little more performance, without having to go to a tune.

LOL, I said and did the same thing. Then 2 months later got it dyno tuned anyway.
