Can you lay a straight edge across either the block or the manifold surface?

I have tried paper, copper, metal, and about anything out there as well as no gaskets. I admit, I have not been as keen as I probably should on the upkeep on torquing. I have literally been through 4 sets of manifolds since '96. I have toyed around with the idea of headers, but I like my car quiet. I want to feel the engine and hear her roar to life like a sleeper when I romp on the gas pedal. What would you say the pros/cons of headers vs manifolds are?
