Is it ok to reuse the stock manifold gaskets or should i just see if i could get new ones? I keep reading use OEM ( Metal) gaskets but i was curious if i could just reuse mine for my new header install . Thanks

I did replace mine but

It wasn’t needed.

I’ve had them off a few times and have been reusing them

I had bad luck with the FRPP ones with the paper outer layer. They're awfully thin and I got a couple leaks with headers. I've been immensely thrilled with the FelPro ones. They'll seal anything. I've had them seal a nearly 0.010" warped 2.3 manifold, and even re-used them for a turbo 2.3. They've worked great on both my 4.6 longtubes and turbo headers.
