Default header bolts and gaskets

what has everyone been using for headers bolts with their pacesetters and also what gaskets did you use? i got mine a few days ago, they look great, but i didn't know what gaskets and bolts work the best with them. thanks, Jess

I reused the stock gaskets and bolts a year and 12k miles ago when I did my headers, and haven't had a problem since.

I used new GM gaskets, and Stage 8 bolts. I figured what was an extra $40 on a $1000 header install, for a little peace of mind.
