I just reused my stock gaskets and put some of the copper gasket maker on it with stage 8 locking bolts.

 

I will just use the stock ones if the 99-01s wont work..i figure the stock ones are fine but while im in there might as well put some $10 gaskets in.

 

I used the ones that came with the headers. about a week later they blew out and I put the stock one's back in. Haven't had a problem since.

 

i just installed the LTs with the gaskets from the kit and they leak pretty bad. i will be purchasing a set of stockers to do it again. i called my local chevy dealership and they said they were like $14 ea. so nothing serious.

 

ya thats about how much i figured they would be.

 

i just bought the 99-02 gasket from the carquest wherehouse and its the same bolt pattern.

 

I used the gaskets that came with my pacesetters. No problems at all. TIPS: get the truck on a lift. Drop the trans crossmember for the Y-pipe as a whole. Put ur front O2s in. Dont **** with the steering arm, u dont need to. Drop everything thru the bottom and put both headers up from the bottom. Its a piece of cake. Make sure ur careful with the dipstick too, u'll weld it to the block if u dont unplug ur battery. I had to use an impact on my y-pipe cuz a bolt was stripped in the manifold-y connection. Good luck

 

What?

thats alot of help thanks...what are some tools ima need? just so i can make sure i have everything before friday gets here.

 

yes unplug the battery...while you take out the oil dipstick and accidently touch the starter it will weld it to what ever the dipstick is grounding it too....
