I run them and have installed a couple other sets. They are very nice for the money. I don't remember if they come with gaskets but I re-used the factory MLS gaskets and bolts and have never had one back out or leak in 3+ years.

Im running them, they come with everything you need, you can reuse the manifold gasket's for the header's if you like...I chose to buy new from GM but you dont have to. I reccomend buying band clamps though. They come with reg. exhaust clamps that are a pain in the a$$

Stock manifolds only have surface rust problems, pacesetters can rust completely through.
If you live in dry climates without salted roads they last well.
