Alot of people reuse their stock gaskets if they are in good condition or buy new stock gaskets. Most don't go with the paper ones bc of the lesser quality.

yah, like SS4Luck said, DON'T use the paper ones. I did and one blew out after 12k miles and I'm waiting on the next one to blow out after 30k... I guess I'm the lucky one but it SUCKED having to go in there just to replace a dam gasket.
