You'll have to get a matched gasket when you get them installed...if you are doing them yourself, you should be able to get one from your local autostore. I was able to re-use the gasket from the block.

You should be able to use the ones off the block without any leaking.

wow, thanks guys for clearing that up. now, should i change the header and put the gasket back one as quickly as possible or should i wait a minute? btw, my brother and i are installing them next month when i get my car back from the shop (tiburons can't swim). so if i wanted i could go to the hyundai dealership because nobody around here has anything for our cars. they are still in the darkages i guess.

I never took the gasket on the block off. Of course, my car is less than a year old, so everything gasket wise was in really good shape still. I just unbolted the old manifold, and bolted on the headers right away. The longest part of the whole install was extending the wires on the O2 sensors. Good luck, hope everything goes good for ya!

BTW-make sure you keep your sensors in the right order, do not switch the pre-cat and post-cat since they are different sensors.
