pacesetter question

I got some pace setters from tsp a while back. I was just now going through the boxes and noticed that I have 2 headers 2 pieces of y pipe 2 o2 extensions a box that says xpipe hardware and another box with some small stuff ie egr gaskets 5 difrent bolts some shrink wrap but thats it. Was I supposed to have header gaskets and bolts?

Re-use your stock gaskets, or if you don't feel safe re-using the stockers, buy a new set of stock style gaskets to use. Don't use any of the header manufacturer's gaskets. The best ones are the GM gaskets. I just re-used mine.

Yeah dont worry about the stock header gaskets, they are junk. Just reuse stockers or buy new stockers. You should of recieved both gaskets and header bolts but its no biggy if you didnt.

i guess i'm the black sheep. i used the paper gaskets although they havnt been on long no problems yet. i plan on getting some felpro gaskets and some good header bolts to install when ever these gaskets take a dump but we'll see i guess.
