Good stuff there. Even the ones installed from the factory are good. I have 62,500 miles on it.

When I pulled off my stock exhaust manifolds one gasket looked like it had been leaking, so I ended up replacing it. The other manifold gasket looked good, so I reused it.

I would have replaced both, but the local dealer only had 1 in stock. They've sealed well and I haven't had any leaks.

My qtp's didnt come with the gaskets. Get the stock gm metal gaskets. They are the best for the application.

You want the stock GM MLS style. If 10 people tell you that....they must have some srt of good quality. 95% of the people on here run the stockers.

Yeah the gaskets are like $14 each at the dealer.

So $14 x 2 = $28+tax
