Installing headers next weekend, Do i need any special gaskets?

My XS headers are on the way to the house and I should be installing them next weekend.

Do i just ened to order a set of factory exhaust manifold gaskets, or is there a special gasket I need?

I need to order them asap, so any info would be great.

Thanks

I'd say put new oem gaskets on. That's what i did. If you ding one up, then you'll be screwed...and you don't want to take the chance of leaks and all that. Just put new gaskets on and you'll be safe and have no worries. The ones XS gives you are junk. Also, the bolts they give you are junk. You can reuse the bolts that hold the header to the engine (they're actually studs coming out of the engine). But the other ones are crap. There's a few threads on this. You'll need better grade bolts and nuts.

I think the guy who sold them to me had some upgraded bolts that he was sending with them.

I will go ahead and order some new gaskets today.
