Default Help, used LG Pros, bent gaskets
Hello.

I just purchased some used LG Pro long tube headers from a forum member here. There are these metal gasket looking things on them that are all bent up. Is that going to be a problem? See attached picture.

Thanks for the help.

Just reuse your stock gaskets. The stock gaskets on my GTO have been through 5 header installs and work fine.

Ahh, so they come off? They seemed stuck on there pretty good. Sorry, I'm a newbie, heh.

Stock gaskets are the best to use, and if you want you can just get a set of new ones for $14 a piece at your local gm dealer that is if you dont want to reuse yours which would be fine.
