Header install

I ordered the OBX headers, I have everything I need to complete the install, but the headers came with a set of header gaskets. I'm posting this to ask should I use the gaskets that came with the kit or should I reuse the stock gaskets? My car has 6,000 miles on it.

Thanks in advance,

Brandon

Throw the OBX gaskets in the trash and re-use the stock steel gaskets.

My installer threw out the Kooks gaskets and used the stock ones. Much better.
