The gakset up by the head you can reuse. I got my header second hand, and the bottom gasket would not fit (it was going on a dx). I ended up finding a part from napa that would fit and I may be able to scrounge up the part number if your stock gasket won't fit ( I was the only one who seemed to have had a problem using the stock one.)

Damn buddy, maybe you should read up on your car a little before you start modding. Those are your 02 sensors. The header should have 1 bung for one, and you need an aftermarket cat to relocate the secondary 02 sensor downstream after the cat. Without these sensors you are going to throw a CEL. The secondary isn't as importiant, but the primary is a necessity.
