I just reused my stock gaskets, my pacesetters came with paper gaskets though.

Mine came with copper gaskets. I have had them on for about 3 months. No problems yet. I rechecked the bolts after about 2 weeks and all were still tight. No problems yet.

i got mine about 2 months ago. they came with paper gaskets. i went to autozone and got felpro metal gaskets for 10 bucks. they look 10 times better than the stock metal ones. mine were falling apart anyways when i took them off.

I got my Pacesetters from TSP last September and they came with nice copper gaskets. I had already purchased new stock gaskets so I went with those but I debated about it cause the copper ones did look pretty good. I guess it must depend where you are getting them from because they did switch to copper gaskets last Summer. Whoever has 'old' stock of the Pacesetters has the crappy paper ones.

I just reused the stock one; headers were installed over a year ago and no problems yet.
