Just reuse your stock gaskets, or get some from a GM dealer. Dont use the paper Pacestter ones. You can reuse you stock bolts if you want. I used the supplied bolts. Good Luck. Youll be happy.

you can reuse your old bolts if they are the right length but i would get some new ones if they are pretty old. you can use a felpro gasket from autozone and they will work just fine. the gaskets that come wtih the headers are junk,i just threw them away.

Just bought and installed Pacesetter headers and it came with copper gaskets, not paper. I hear the copper ones are good to use, but I reused the stock gaskets anyway. I didn't bother with the old bolts. Bought Stage 8 locking header bolts instead.

I also just got my Pacesetters from TSP and they came with some good looking copper gaskets. I had already bought some gaskets from the dealer but I havent opened them yet. Now I am debating which ones to use? Obviously I cant go wrong with the stock ones but the copper ones are pretty thick and look good.
