Default Reusing stock manifold gaskets.

Hey gusys I just orderd my qtp's last week and was wondering if I can reuse my stock gaskets and not worry. Yes I checked the sticky and it did say that I can but how many guys are out there with some serious miles and reused OEM ones. And wich bolts are better QTP's or the stock ones? Thanks in advance!

Definately reuse your stock metal gaskets since they're ususally better than the ones that may come with your headers. Not sure about the qtp header bolts though.
