Are the gaskets and bolts that come with AFE shorty headers any good?

[NJ4X4]

I'm waiting for my AFE headers to get here....but wondering if I should use the gaskets and hardware that come with them or buy something else? Are the gaskets that come with the headers made to compress when they're torqued....eliminating a re-torque in a couple hundred miles?

Thanks!

I dont know about AFE I installed Kooks shorty headers I would recommend getting remflex gaskets 6022 they are the best and I used the bolts that came with my Kooks but you should be good with the bolts it comes with

No problem I highly recommend the remflex gaskets dont use anything else

I just found a set on Amazon for $35....gonna order them now. I'm hoping they don't need to be re-torqued.

Thanks man. And....just realized you're in Jersey too. I'm in Tabernacle....a small town on the edge of the pine barrens in south Jersey.

I used the AFE Headers myself, but I used ARP Hardware and 6.1 Hemi gaskets instead.

Hello Everyone,
So I want to do the afe shorty hearders and will probably use the remflex gaskets (seems to be the popular choice) What about the y pipe? is stock good enough or should I go ahead and change it as well? I have already installed a Vararam intake and Rough Country cat back exhaust. Thanks.
