Message:
if using headers, are the gaskets the same as if you were using the stock manifolds? and which are the best?

Message:
Headers usually have larger openings, so the gaskets that come with them are matched to seal correctly with the larger opening. A stock manifold gasket would not match up correctly to the openings on the headers thus running the risk of blowing the gasket. Use factory manifold gaskets with the factory manifolds, use a quality header gasket like Felpro with your headers.
