Kooks header gaskets or factory GM?
Kooks headers come with a MLS gasket. Anyone using them with success or should I stick with the factory gaskets? I’ve always just reused the factory. Thanks

As long as their MLS your good, avoid those crappy silver non metal gaskets some of the kits sell.

I used the gaskets included with my Kooks headers. 5 and a half years ago and over 50K miles ago. No issues. Why anyone would reuse old gaskets when you have new ones in hand is beyond me. Also, beyond me is buying new gaskets instead of using the ones that came with your Kooks headers. Kooks is a first class outfit. I can't imagine them including sub-standard gaskets with their headers.
