Gaskets...

[crazyfish]

Hey guys, I want to get into modding my GS, but many things involving getting at the engine involve taking off the exhaust. (first planned mod is to repaint the downpipes blue to match the paintjob). I was wondering how essential it is to use new gaskets each time or can you use the same ones for a few times before replacing them. This may be a very silly question but im new to this kind of thing...

Most of the time you can reuse them,but I would have a set just in case they are deformed or flat.I got mine of ebay for $8.I deal with this guy a lot and his prices have gone down.
