Do you also need people to tell you when you can eat or go to the toilet??
Sorry not meaning to rip the ****, but you should really be able to answer this yourself.

Even if he does get a leak with the reused MLS gasket, what does it take, 20 minutes to pull the plug wires, remove the 6 bolts per side, slide out the old gasket and slide in the new ones? It dosnt require removing the headers by any stretch IMHO.
Just my opinion on the matter....

My tts headers have 1/2" thick flanges, and the stock gm gasket on the passenger side is leaking. Maybe the flange isn't truely flat, which wouldn't surprise me considering tts's q control sucks, but I'm having them replaced with the thicker Percy's header gaskets from Speed Inc. I've read mixed reviews on those, but since the GM's are leaking, might as well try something else.
I say change them for piece of mind.
