go to autozone or somewhere and buy stock gaskets

Speed inc has the GM steel header gaskets for $19.99. I will probably order from them instead of going to the dealership. I'm in no rush and i'd rather give my money to a sponsor than the dealership. (But i'm still buying the XS headers.)

No big deal...can be done in about one hour...give or take. Of course, if you can't do it yourself (I made my own Y pipe), you will probably spend and extra $100 to get the exhaust system fixed. Add that $100 to the $60 that I paid (no TIG) to remove and TIG weld the emissions tubes to the price of the headers and you can easily see how "saving" money buying cheap parts is not always worth it. If I were to purchase headers again, QTP would get my money...but I don't mind paying for quality made parts.

no all people cut the emissions off (myself being one of them) and eitherways the addition on any LT is going to consequate to a new Y-Pipe or True Dual system. why not go custom in the first place? with these XS you can get a complete custom true dual setup (including the headers) for the same amount as your QTP's

I bought a Mig welder and did it myself after that. Grand total came to a tad over 1G for that ****! 
It sounds killer though
