Default header gaskets

I just bought headers and they did not come with gaskets.. Should I reuse my stock ones and just spray on that high temp copper spray? OR should I get new GM ones or some other type?

I have reused them a bunch times, as long as the headers have good thick flanges you can tighten down without them warping I'd just reuse what you have.

I used the SCE Copper gaskets on my OBX. Worked great!

from my personal experience the OEM manifold gaskets are the best.
