    so im getting a used zzp plog and I don't have any gaskets for it. can I go to napa or gm and get stock gaskets and use them? im assuming once I pull all my old crap off everything will be un safe to use?

    also would my muffler shop be able to fab up a catless down pipe and u-bend delete? or do I have to buy these things from zzp?

    Re-use the stock gasket, it's metal and the best gasket.

    Just clean it up and put it back on.

    I would not use the fel-pros. The OEM gasket truly is the best and if re-using the factory gasket doesn't seal well, go to the dealer and get it

    clean that crap off, if its there put it on dry.

    when you take the front manny off the 2 end studs they hold the gasket to the head. i left them there, and put my headers right on. its a thin metal gasket.

    same with the dp gasket to the rear manifold. you can re use that one. the cat back gasket will likely need to be replaced.

    start spraying the crossover pipe bolts, and the dp bolts with pb blaster or something to help them break free with out snapping.

    I agree that the oem is better, but I have never had an issue with the felpro
