Use your stock gaskets. If you just have to have new gaskets, goto the dealer and buy new stock gaskets.

Gaskets

I would definately use the OEM (new or used) gaskets. The gaskets that come with the Pacesetters are junk. I speak from experience.

I used gaskets from Checkers, the silver looking ones, sealed excellent. But by no means would I use the fiber ones Jet Hot and other header makers send.

Don't be a cheap *** and use your stock damn gaskets. I spent 12 dollars and got both my OEM gaskets at the dealer. It's cheap insurance, header installs are a bitch, and I'd rather not go back and do a side over just because the gasket is fubar.
