Default Okay to use US exhaust header gasket with JDM 4-1 header?

I ordered a Honda JDM 4-1 header for my ITR and it didn't come with an exhaust header gasket (thankfully the donut gasket between the header and the cat was included). Can I order the US header gasket as a substitution?

Thanks guys, I'm seriously tired of staying bone stock

Are you referring to the manifold gasket that goes between the head and the header? If so, you can just re-use your old one, assuming it's in decent shape.

you can re-use it, but its so cheap - you might as well replace it - just get one at acura dealer.

Okay thanks guys, that's what I needed to know I didn't know if the larger diameter piping needed a larger gasket. I'll go ahead and order a new one from the Acura dealership.

If it's the donut gasket your talking about then these are the part numbers.

No, the donut gasket was included thankfully.

Crap!

The exhaust header gasket was $18.58 and the donut gasket is running $33.70 Oh well, I'm just sticking with buying the header gasket alone since the header came with the donut gasket (even if it is used).

Thanks everybody for the part numbers and the help
