i didn't use the gaskets that came with them because they're prone to failure.. some have had great luck with theirs, but i wasn't taking the chance. so i bought new oem gaskets from the dealership.

it's up to you though.

reuse the stock gaskets IMO. They collector to ORY connections suck. They give you ubolts to use. I'd buy some V-band clamps.

has anyone tried using those rally thick aluminum gaskets that are supposed to crush and make a good seal. i think they are called "dead soft" aluminum and made by Mr. Gasket. i've tried four different gaskets and my driver side header still leaks, would these be worth a try?

hmm, driver side header leaks at the head? why not use OEM gaskets? they worked perfect for me.

Everytime I've tried an aftermarket gasket, they leak. reuse the stockers, they work, and you don't have to constantly check the headerbolts.

They do but they aren't worth a ****. Reuse the stock gaskets, manifold bolts.
