Not only is it not necessary, the rtv can mess with the o2 sensors.

Good job sticking with the stock gaskets, I used the ones that came with the headers and they blew out after a couple of months and one night at the track! So stock is the way to go and nothing on them is correct!! Enjoy!!

I used the stock gaskets and installed them dry. After a few runs checked the bolt torque, no problems. Also, do not apply anything to the bolts, they go in clean and dry.
