Default OEM gasket on Na-t manifold

hey guys, dumb question but for some reason i remember the xs power gasket looking slightly different.

Are we able to use oem spec gaskets on these na-t turbo exhaust manifolds? id assume so but figured id double check

I used the stock one on mine, but I made my own intake manifold.
the xs power is similar, but seeing as we are all using the same lower runners, it should be fine.

Just hold it over the intake, and make sure none of the holes on the intake manifold are bigger than the gasket.
If is isn't and the bolt holes match up, you are good to go.

oh that makes more sense. I used the one that came with my kit. It seems much thicker than the stock one.
You can probably use the stock one but I imagine its less forgiving to imperfect header flanges as its not as thick as the aftermarket one. Bolt it up and check for leaks, but is a lot of work to redo if it leaks out exhaust.
