header gaskets ? hooker sent me header gaskets but i was told not to use them...should i re-use my stock gaskets or should i buy oem replacements...or should i use something else...
If your OEM MLS gaskets look good you can reuse them. If not throw $20 at Mr. Goodwrench and get some new ones (I did). Reuse your OEM bolts too and trash those short things Hooker gives you. Their o2 extensions work ok.....
No it will not hurt to re-use the stock bolts at all. I prefer them over the bolts that come with the headers that I have seen.
And as already stated, if your stock gaskets look good, you can re-use them, or if you'd prefer, get some new GM ones.

I honestly do not have any experience with the mr. gasket units, nor have I even saw them to judge their construction quality. All I can tell you is myself along with most any knowledgeable LSx gear head will recommend the GM ones. In the end it's your car.
