Default DC Header Gaskets?

I searched all over and I couldn't find the answer. Will my new DC 4-2-1 header for my RS come with new gaskets or will I have to buy new ones. It says that it comes with all necessary hardware, but is that just bolts and stuff? UPS says that it is going to come on Tuesday, and I want everything to be ready for the install because I am so gosh darn excited. Thanks for your help.

I have never seen a set of headers that did not include the gaskets

I believe it does not come with any new gaskets, but OEM replacements will work fine. I'd get the exhaust manifold gasket (around $10) and the donut/flexible gasket (around $25).

They don't come with gaskets.

I agree with ChassisInnovations. Buy both of those gaskets and you will be set.

Just to confirm, you will need to buy the exhaust manifold gasket and you can re-use the donut gasket if it is not too banged up. If you've never fucked w/it before it should be fine to re-use. Don't forget zipstrips to hold those pressure springs closed when you re-bolt the header to the cat. Those things are a pain in the ass to keep closed while you mate the nut and bolt.
