Default GM Manifold gaskets?

I am getting ready to install my SLP LTs and was wondering can i re-use the factory manifold gaskets again, I believe they are a metal gasket, I have a 99 Ws6, maybe yall know?

Thanks

I reuse them all the time, as long as the manifold/header flange is straight, they seal great!
