Default XForce Exhaust install

For the ones who installed a X-Force Exhaust, did you all use different or oem exhaust gaskets? Or use the ones provided with the kit? TIA.

here's my list of gaskets, I'm sure the prices have changed though.

*** the HEADER GASKETS are for PPE EL headers, if you are on stock headers its probably best to use OEM gaskets

I used Force gaskets, but a few leaked, so I switched any leaking to Summit racing gaskets.

Small piece of news - the OEM gasket for the headers is meant to be reused. Multi-sheet metal gaskets are pretty amazing for durability. I had one of these for a head gasket on my FJ1100 (that became a 1200, and went from 9.2:1 compression to 11.24:1 compression) and I just cleaned it up, painted it silver again and reused it at least 4 times. When I did my starter, I didn't even consider a new header gasket, and it sealed up just fine. Don't waste your money unless it's burned through from a poor seal.
