do i really need new header gaskets?
I re-used my stockers, at 55k miles, and wound up having to replace the driver's side with a new one. Passenger side is still hanging in there at 72k miles.
Go figure.
I'd get the new ones if I were you.

I used the originals, I was going to buy some new ones but couldn't find any local parts stores that had them in stock so I bit the bullet and put the originals back in. They had about 87k miles on them and they sealed back up no problem.
IMO buy new ones but dont call off the install if you can't get new ones

check the gaskets for blow through...after inspecting mine, i noticed carbon buildup outside of where the header would have sealed...if i never saw the blackness i wouldnt have replaced them
