I've always ran my stock gaskets. Way better than the ones you get from manufacturers.

Stock will hold up the best! Contact your local dealership for some, I think the part number is GM-12610046.
Let me know if you have any questions! Kayla L. 801.545.4215 |

If your gaskets are in good shape, just clean/reuse them. I'm still running the factory original gaskets on my car, and headers have been on/off 20+ times, and multiple sets of headers. Still same MLS gaskets that the car came with.

Reused stock gaskets when I added headers. Works great!
