installer put on my stock header gasket!
I bought them some brand new ones but they used the ones there were on my oem headers. IS there anything bad about re-using old header gaskets? Am i prone to a leak now?

Nope they are metal, I would just get your money back on the new ones and not worry about it.

Am i prone to a leak now? That's why I install my own parts ;) You should be fine, the OEM gasket is good, most likely better than the the aftermarket one you provided. They can be reused because they are metal. What headers did you go with? |
i went with DC and i had my cats installed at the same time. I had cats before before they cracked on me but i must say there is a definite gain all around the powerband along with some weight savings and more responsiveness. THe cat and header combo is definitly worth the install. My car now roars! No joke. Are WOT its very intiminating.

unless the gaskets are bad, don't worry about changing it out. you can re-use those with no issues

thanks guys! I was worried for a bit. Installing headers is costly.
I am running nismo exhuast, JWT intake, Z-tube, Kentix Cats, and now DC headers. I would make a sounds clip or drive by and idle revs but i dont know how to. So if someone from the bay would like to help i would gladly do it. But man, its mean sounding. |
Don't worry, the gasket is probably in the same exact condition as the new ones, mine were.

he did you a favor if your headers came with paper gaskets...
the factory gaskets are metal and superior to all the after market gaskets i have seen for the head - manifold and manifold - cat gaskets... |
