Default Jet Hot Header install

I'm a rookie at header installs so i have a couple q's. What gaskets should i buy(stock), or can i just reuse what's on there? The headers came with bolts but they don't look like anything i would want to use, does ARP have bolts for headers, or is a new set of stockers fine?. My plans are to run a dual setup w/ and x pipe and super turbo mufflers. I was also considering putting dual cutouts on for the track, but would they mess with the o2 sensors if i place them back about 6-10" from the flanges. Thanks for any advice given.

You can re-use the stock gaskets and bolts.

ARP's would be a nice choice though.

I'd get new gaskets and Stage 8 header bolts, I guess you could re-use what you have but why would you want to do that after all the trouble of installing your new headers? Just my 2 cents worth.

Most people just reuse their stock gaskets adn bolts. I've already bought a new set of gaskets, and i'll buy a new set of bolts(stock) if my stock bolts look really sh*tty when i take them out. Dont forget to put some antiseize on the header bolts.

I personally would not reuse the stock bolts. It is just too much of a disaster to have a bolt break in the head. New stock bolts arent that expensive.
