Some Header ??'s

Ok I finally got my Y-pipe in, and now Im ready to install the LT's to my car.

My question is: What kind of gaskets should I get to go along with the install? My car has 102K on it and I figure the gaskets could stand to be replaced anyways. What do you all suggest?

Also I have the Air/EGR hook ups too, and Should I buy the gaskets to go along with them also where it has the high mileage?

Thanks to anyone that can help me out!

If your gonna keep your AIR, get gaskets for the hook ups at your local dealer. As for the headers I used felpro gaskets and I cant complain.

Stock MLS are are great and cheap. If you are careful you could reuse yours but at that mileage I'd spend the $20 and go new for piece of mind.

Link in my sig might shed some light on the install... I would just get some GM MLS (multi layer steel) stock gaskets. 30 bucks for the pair and are proven over and over again.
