Reusing exhaust gaskets???

Hi
Is it possible to reuse the header to presilencer gasket?
and also the presilencer to y pipe gasket??

I am considering purchasing a used exhaust and the gaskets are only a few weeks old. Will I run into any problems in the long run?
Should I just get new gaskets to be on the safe side?


Also, I just have a stock s5 NA motor, should i get the SS racing beat header, or the regular steel one?

Will I notice any difference if I am keeping my motor stock??


Thanks in advance!

If they are a few weeks only and OEM, then you can probably reuse them. If they are aftermarket, then you should replace them. The OEM gaskets are of much higher quality and as long as they are not damaged, can probably be reused.

The SS header is lighter, looks better and won't rust. I doubt there is any performance difference between the two.
