intake gaskets

Switching to and LS6 intake shortly. Do most people reuse their stock (LS1 intake) gaskets if the are in good shape or are new gaskets a must?

They can be reused.

But if they obviously look shitty, I'd get a new set just for piece of mind.

I reused mine with no problems. Just make sure you don't rip or puncture them when removing them. I used a little awl to get down under the corner "dot" to get the gasket up. Everything went smooth.
