I reused my stock gaskets and everything sealed up fine. If yours are in good shape just save some money and use them. If not buy the stock replacement metal gaskets from a dealer.

I might be helping this guy install the headers, since they are "most likely" xs headers, what y-pipe should I tell him to buy?

The picture above illustrates this perfectly. The used set is the now discontinued on road application headers. The shiny new set is a new header they have which is the off-road version. The off road headers have been known to have clearance issues on the passenger side. Perhaps that would explain the very minor difference between the two.
I agree they are absolutely the XS headers, and despite the presumption they are terrible headers I have heard great things from them and in person they look great. A good piece for a great price. BTW if they had been out when we put the PaceSetters on we would have bought them. Been happy with a PS LT's but you can't beat a stianless header at that price!
