Are the header gaskets that come with the Pacesetter Longtubes any good?
I know that the stock gaskets will work but i was just wondering if these will be any better.

Did yall reuse your exhaust manifold bolts; or buy new ones?
Thanks

 

i used my stock bolts and my stock gaskets. no issues so far

 

The PS gaskets are crap. The stock ones work fine, but if you're up there in miles you may want to get new ones. They are only $13 per. The can and will separate.

Bolts - look into Breslin bolts. You'll never have an issue of them backing out like headers bolts will.

 

cool, will be using the stock gaskets!

gonna check into the header bolts at summitracing, they sell them there!

 

just go to the dealership and get the new style bolt.

 

my Pacesetters actually came with copper gaskets, not the older shitty white paper ones they used to use. Not sure if anyone else ran into that, or if you guys are saying their copper gaskets suck.
Anyway i used SCE embossed copper gaskets and they're holding up great.

 

i used stock gaskets and used stock bolts. bolts kept backing out, so i got some stage 8 locking fasteners. havent had an issue in about 8 months.

 

Stage 8s are nice and work, but what a PITA to put on. God forbid you need to remove them for anything.

 

i should have just done the arp stud conversion.......
