Gaskets for my new headers, which ones?
Hey everyone,
I got all of my old exhaust out of the car last weekend, and I just got my new headers in the mail
I'm getting ready for the install, and I didn't realize that the Pacesetters came with gaskets; I ordered fel-pro gaskets at my local advance auto. Which should I use?
Pacesetter gaskets or the Fel-pro? part number on the felpro is:MS 92467 ( I think thats the PN)
Fel-pros are metallic, the Pacesetters feel like a chew toy for my dog.. but if they work they work!

I'd recommend new GM gaskets. They're very nice pieces. Don't reuse header gaskets unless you like leaks and that lovely ticking sound associated with it. Plus old leaky gaskets can lead to terrible things like burnt pistons (worst case scenario)
I bought an SLP install kit when I put my SLP LT's on, and the kit came with replacement GM gaskets.

Thanks for your reply. I agree, the Pacesetter gaskets look like total :crap:

Well, I ran into an unforeseen circumstance in the install.. omg o well, if you're curious see my thread in the internal engine forum 'spark plug being a pain'
So i guess i'll return the fel-pros and get some new GM gaskets.
Thanks for your inputs
