Default Do I have to buy a new gasket?

I am currently replace my stock header with an aftermarket header. Can I reuse my stock gasket that is between the mainfold and the stock header? Or Do I have to replace my used gasket with a new one to prevent leaks?

There shouldn't be any problem with reusing it. I've reused them on a number of occasions, and never had any problem with leaks. However, if you would feel better replacing it, they aren't very expensive.

Can you people give me an estimate price on it? I wouldn't want my honda dealer to rip me off.

I believe I paid around $15 or so at the dealer.
