I just bought a used Megan Racing header for my EP3, but it didn't come with any gaskets. Here is a new one, with gaskets



Can I reuse my stock gasket for where the header goes against the head? What should I do about the missing gasket where it attaches to the downpipe, does anyone know what it is made out of so I could cut myself a new one?

The exhaust manifold gasket is metal so unless you damage it you should be able to reuse it.

 

Its generally a good idea to NEVER reuse old gaskets once you've removed them. Theres a greater chance of a leak or gasket failure when you reuse old gaskets.

thats true for regular gaskets, but for metal gaskets, you can use them over and over again if you dont' damage them. 98ctr
