Header Install- New gaskets required?
Headers should be coming in soon, and in prep for install I wanted to know if I needed to get new gaskets? Are the stock copper ones reusable?

Yeah you are going to want new gaskets. If the headers didnt some with gaskets, they are not to expensive from the dealer. if you are installing the headers, be careful when removing the old ones. I've cut my fingers up a few times. It didnt feel good.

Thanks for the input guys. Not sure if they come with new gaskets, but I also have often reused copper header gaskets on other cars. Does anybody know the torque spec for the stud/nuts for the flanges?
