I reused my original ones and 9 years later they sealed perfectly fine. (I used Texas speed headers though).

Stock gaskets seem to work best IMO

Throw away the goo that came with the headers and either reuse, if in good condition, the factory gaskets or buy new GM gaskets. Some things you just can't bean OEM on and the headers gaskets are one of them.

Oem for sure, the gasket maker can help keep them in place if you use a dab but its a mess. If you need those headers still we are running a big sale on Stainless Power.

I bought my Stainless Power headers from Janetty at Camaro Fest last year and they came with a new set of OEM gaskets.

I bought new OEM gaskets when I did my headers... Since I was not performing the work, I went with new... I didn't want to pay someone again to put new ones on afterwards.
