Default cometic and normal plenum to manifold gasket

whats the differance? as the only ones i've seen are like a light cardboard and are ford ones.

reason i ask, i've just had my gaskets delivered from burtons and i didnt order a cometic one, but the one they sent is rather expensive looking

its like a black plasticy foam stuff on each side with metal in the middle and should look to cost a bit more than 3 quid

anyone any ideas?

Ive got a cometic, rocker & plenium gasket on mine. Used it a number of times now. Seem to be a good gasket.
