Kooks headers/gaskets
I'm in the middle of a H&C swap and have a set of 1 3/4" Kooks headers. The gaskets (the ones that come with them) are stuck to my old heads and I had to scrape them off. Needless to say they're unusuable so I call Livernois Motorsports to grab another set and they say that they don't use them (Kooks gaskets). They re-use the stock steel manifold gaskets. So I grabbed mine off the wall and matched them up to the head and header to find that they partially cover the exhaust port at the top and bottom. I knew there was a reason I didn't use these when I put the headers on a couple years ago. Anyway, are there different oem manifold gaskets for different year C5's that will work with my Kooks and won't be restrictive? My car is an 02 Z06. Thanks guys!

GM LS1 gaskets (#12558573) They are round port and will match up to your headers.
