Whats everyone recommend? It's a pretty much stock motor with a few bolt on's and a 150 shot... Thanks in advance!

You can reuse them if they are not separated from eachother, although I did and I have no exhaust leaks. When you have the gasket off (if its your stock gasket) take a scotch brite pad and clean off all the rust and crap and your good to go. Stay away from those crappy cardboard gaskets that they ship with some of the lower priced headers though.

I've installed two sets of headers with new GM gaskets and reused the factory ones on my bro's SS with 4700 miles on it. Stockers are the way to go.
