Default Kooks headers

I was just wondering what gaskets are you guys running...I was thinking off using GM#12558573 and not the one kooks supplied. Thanks....

When selecting gaskets the headers you are running really doesn't matter. GM gaskets are as good as anything, and paper gaskets that come with some headers should be promptly thrown away. Most people do just fine reusing the stock gaskets. Same thing with header bolts.

I bought new gm gaskets when I did mine 40$ for gaskets isn't any thing when you spent 700$ on headers.
