whatever you use to seal the top, you'll never seal the bottom (collectors)...

I reused my stock manifold gaskets when I put my QTP's on and have over 20k miles on them with no issues now.

Re-use the stock ones unless they look like poo, then in that case go buy some new stock ones.

I bought new stockers when i installed my XS headers last yr, they leaked bad, I am now running Percy's reuseable 2pc aluminum gaskets, no leaks. it all depends on how true the header flange is though

new stockers here also. Tried some others and they leaked. Be careful if you don't torque the headers....the flange can pull uneven and lead to leaks
