Is it best to get a new set of OEM gaskets, or can you re-use the ones from the exhaust manifolds?

OOo good ??? anyone got the answer haha

I reused my OEM gaskets when I put on my shorty headers, but when I switched to longtubes I bought a new set of OEM's.

Re-used my old ones after I had to tear into my motor............I'll buy new ones for the new motor

OEM gaskets w/Kook headers

I have OEM gaskets with American Racing headers. I think the OEM's are cheap enough to just buy new and not worry about the old ones.

yup, oem here... w/ Livernoise ported heads and Hooker LT's, little over a year, no problems.

I used the upgraded percy gaskets from Brenspeed for my Pypes Longtubes.

a few months back i had header gasket leak... so i pulled the headers off and sure enough someone put some aftermarket header gaskests on.. well they went to crap so i went and got myself a set of new OEM gaskets and havn't had a problem sence.

OEM is the way to go

I bought some felt-like gaskets from eBay when I did my headers. The passenger side has been fine, but the drivers side gasket didn't last very long. I got a nice thick gasket on there now and while it's fine, I keep getting exhaust leaks from bolts backing out. I don't know if the gasket causes that or not; it happened a lot with the old one too.

Makes me wish I had just left the stockers on...

I also re-used the factory gaskets with my LT's not a problem.
