I agree, don't cheap out on things like gaskets and such that may fail you later down the road. Do it right the first time.

 

If you really have to...you can reuse the exhaust but at least get a new intake gasket.

 

I agree with everything above

 

Its ok to re-use the exhaust. Intake must be replaced.

 

eh, if ur intake on came off in one piece and didn't crack it should seal fine, i've reused them many times, one time i had to get my car running so i used silcone as the intake manifold gasket, over a year so far hasn't leaked on me yet.

 

yeah i need my car to be driven liek the day i get my head put on i plan on getting this done in one day. does the y8 head match up to the intake and exhaust manifolds? what gasket should i get?

 

Like they all said above it is all of 15 buckss for these gaskets just buy new ones so you dont have to do the work twice

 

Always buy new gaskets when needed....

 

yeah go here for some cheap prices, although i got the Y8 intake and throttle body gasket from the dealer for like 2 dollars for both. don't cheap out on paper gaskets, although i've never changed my exhaust manifold gasket it still seals.

If you go to like Auto-Zone you can get intake/exhaust gaskets that are better than OEM AND they are universal so you get the intake/exhaust gasket for an a6 it also fits the z6 and y8. I even took my aftermarket gaskets to a Honda dealer and one of the techs said it was better than an OEM one but I guess it all depends on personal preference. I have been running the aftermarket ones with no problems what so ever. Now a head gasket is different I would get an OEM one for that gasket.
