Not trying to steal your tread or anything but I'm about to be installing LT's and was wondering if I could get gaskets anywhere locally? Do I need to replace the stock ones?

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.)

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
