AR Headers
For those who bought and installed ARH long tubes. Did you use the "Flatout racing gaskets" that came with the headers or did you use the oem gaskets? The Flatout gaskets are steel coated in graphite. If you did use them, any problems with exhaust leaks?
Thanks,
Mike

OEM LS1 gaskets, reused 4 or 5 times, on 1-7/8" Kooks. I did enlarge the I.D. of the gaskets with a diegrinder to better fit the tube size. Never leaked, no sealants, loctite not needed, as I've never had a bolt come loose, at least on my car......
