Stock Items Reused?

I just recently purchased some headers and ory pipe from black2002ws6 (aka 'LPP headers').

I'm just double checking that I can re-use the stock bolts and gaskets that are on my car now. If not I need to order some ASAP for this weekend.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

yeah you can reuse the gaskets and bolts if they are in good shape. I reused my stock bolts on my car but I had to replace the gaskets as one of them came apart when I was taking the manifolds off.

Will do. Sucks it's going to be like 19 degrees this weekend.

I hope my gaskets will be ok. I'm not going to be able to buy any the day of. No place close I can think of that would even sell header gaskets.

So I wouldn't worry if I was you.
