pacesetter LT's question
 
Well, I just got my new set of these and they came with copper gaskets, bolts, etc. Are the supplied copper gaskets better than the steel GM ones or should I just go with those? And, which bolts...stock or supplied ones? Thanks for any input! :)

i reused with no problems at all

I also reused stock gaskets with no leaks at all

I reused the stock ones also.. no problems yet... make sure you retorque the header bolts after 300-500 miles...

The copper gaskets are junk. Reuse the OEM ones or just buy some new GM gaskets, $19.99....that's what I did. I reused the stock bolts, no problems either.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will use my new GM gaskets and reuse the stock bolts then.

+1 on reusing the old gaskets and studs. No leaks and no problems. enjoy the headers and do yourself a favor...run around your neighborhood at least once or twice with open headers. you won't regret it :devil:
