Stock or remflex if the stockers are leaking.

Stock OEM AC Delco. They can both be had for $15-20 and are supposedly reusable once.

Header wrap, with a 50% overlap of the wrapping material as you wrap the headers...

Oh okay I understand. I was thinking he was talking about wrapping the gaskets somehow derp.

I have read things about the wrap causing the headers to rust, mine are ceramic coated though, so idk.

headers rust whether they are wrapped or not. wrapping keeps the heat in the exhaust which helps keep the exhaust moving faster, and keeps engine bay temps down.
