Thanks for the advice.

I've had my PPE headers installed for over 2 years with no leaks or CELs.

I've installed my JoeZ exhaust a month back and still no CELs but I did not install new PEE gaskets at the time of the install, that's why I'd rather install new gaskets for ease of mind.

^ Agreed but I have an OCD to these small things.

With the old gaskets looking how they are I'd feel happier installing new ones

Actually Lou.. We don't supply a gasket to the OEM manifold connection..

The OEM one can be reused from 1-2 times.. As long as it looks good..

We only supply 4 new flat gaskets to our cnc flanged connections..
