Most get away with re using them. But do you want to take that chance and have to pull the intake off again to replace them? Your call.

Depending on mileage and age I wouldn't chance it. They are about $20 at the auto parts store.

Good points. I'm gonna throw my old ones out then. No point in saving them.

As soon as I got my LS6 intake I immediately cut all the gaskets in half so I wouldn't be tempted to re-use them.

Lay a strait edge over the manifold/gasket. If the gasket is flattened and barely touching the edge, it needs to be replaced
