I just got a new set of Jet Hot LT Headers and in the "install" kit, the place I got them from sent me, what looks like paper gaskets for the headers.

Are these ok to use or should I reuse my metal ones?

I plan on installing them starting tonight and finishing them up tomorrow. The finish looks great and looks to be a nice design, not too many bends like my SLP LT.

Thanks in advance..

Reuse you old metal gaskets or buy new metal ones from the dealership.

Use metal ones.

I wouldn't trust paper gaskets.

Let us know how the install goes.

Good Luck!

My friend used paper ones and had to go and get them replaced twice. Switched to metel ones and hasn't been back. I'm going metel.

GM Metal gaskets are the only thing I'll ever use.

vote for the metal gaskets here as well.

Vote for stock metal ones also.
Stage 8 locking header bolts from thunder racing are nice also

I used the gaskets sent with my Pacesetters, paper/composit? No problems as of yet but I did re-torque all my header bolts after running a couple of heat cycles(all were a little loose)so far no problems but if I do I will go with the stockers, Mine were a little bent/distorted after the manifold removal so I didn't reuse them. I will see.

i used the ones supplied with the headers at first. then a couple months later i was back changing them to the stock gm gaskets.
