i recently bought a new pair of nismo headers off ebay and the seller said that the instructions say to use factory gaskets, but that it does come with two bolts that are needed. i've noticed that other makers include a set of gaskets with them. so am i supposed to get a set of gaskets with a new pair or nismo headers or is this normal? thanks

Alphawerks Stainless Steel Headers - No gaskets.

 

Some do ,some dont----May get flamed, but I have reused the OEMs with no problems

 

On v8 engines i used solid copper gaskets when ever i used headers. I had a bronco with headers and the guy i got it from used some bottom of the line gaskets that blew out. Copper gaskets are like 40$ or so but damn they are worth it.

 

I bought Crawford headers and Doug at crawford told me to use the O.E.M. ones that where already on the car. No need to buy new header gaskets just use your old ones. But if you want to buy new ones....go for it.
