Bought used headers and x-pipe

I just got a great deal on used QTP LT headers and a matching x-pipe. I was wondering, can I reuse my stock gaskets and header bolts or should I pick up new ones?

Thanks!

I had 96k on mine and I used the stock bolts, gaskets were cheap so I had no reason not to get 'em. Good luck.

Bolts can be reused..but you should get new gaskets..they aren't that much and you don't want to do this again due to a dumb leak.

For like $30 get new gaskets from the dealership and reuse your bolts.
