Stock gaskets are better than most of the ones you get with header kits.

x2, I re-used my stock gaskets and have no leaks. The best thing would be to get new MLS gaskets though.

Flowtech headers are some of the worst for LS cars. I would always used GM gaskets, but with Flowtechs you might want to grab some Percy's
