Default hooker shorties use stock gaskets?

my car had hooker shorty headers on it when i got it (94 lt1). my next project is redoing the exhaust, and while i got it all apart i want to take the headers off and change the gaskets (think there is a leak in the passenger side, might as well change them both. question is, do the hooker shorties use stock manifold gaskets? i ordered a stock set not even thinking about it, but now im wondering. if not, does anyone know where i could get the gaskets for the hooker shorties? thanks!

The stock exhaust gasket doesn't seperate the middle two primaries, not sure how that would work with headers.

f body exhaust gaskets separate the ports. or i think 1404 felpros will work.. there should be a few at autozone that will work in the performance section.

I've used these seals on my Vettes and two LT1 I've installed shorties.

Go with the soft metal ones. I have copper ones and they have seen 20K with no leaks.
