Buy stock ones! Don't use a paper gasket unless you want to replace it in the near future! If you need them we have them or check your local dealer.

My kooks did not come with paper gaskets they look like aluminum gaskets but it sounds like the stock ones are better.

My kooks headers came with a metal gasket and what looked like felt on both sides, but I bought stock mls gaskets ahead of time. IMO stock gaskets are the only way to go.

There is no felt on these ones. It looks like 6 thin pieces of metal stacked on each other to make a gasket if that makes sense but the stock ones are only $30.00 so Im going with them.

I used the supplied gaskets with my Kooks LT's and have had no issues.
