Header gasket install

I got a set of SS headers and was wondering if I should use the supplied gaskets or should I get new factory ones???

New factory ones for sure. The supplied ones aren't always great. Search the forums and you'll find a similar answer.

Reuse your stock gaskets. Unless you damaged them they are fine for reusing

I heard the XS gaskets are made out of recycled car tires. Don't use em.
