Not sure if this should go in general or engine specific but people always yell at me when I post in engine specific.

I want to buy a header of a member on here but idk what gaskets to get. Its just a shorty header

i was looking on here and some are $200+ and some are only ~$35
Ecotec Gaskets & Seals

 

if you mean head gasket, some are 35 because its only the head gasket, some are more because they include gaksets you will need to replace while removing the head.

i dont see any 200 exhaust manifold gaskets. need to post what engine you have.

 

I have a 2007 LSJ. Stock header on it right now. So would i be able to use Cylinder Head Gasket 2.0 LSJ 55352039 and Cobalt Lower Exhaust Manifold Gasket 15235773 ?

 

You dont need a headgasket unless you want to tear your head apart... Its about a $1500 job for a shop to do a headgasket, $400-500 if you do it your self. To be done properly

All you need is exhaust manifold gasket... And they will be cheap. And You dont NEEEED a exhaust manifold gasket unless yours is shot. I re-used mine for a bit, and only replaced the exhaust manifold gasket because it came with my headgasket kit when my h/g blew


I just looked at your links, you have no idea what your looking for. THIS is the gasket you will want to replace if any at all
Cobalt LSJ and Extruded Honed Manifold Gasket 9230949

The second link you posted, you csn get it if you want to go all out. It wont hurt anything but not always %100 necessary.
Cobalt Lower Exhaust Manifold Gasket 15235773

After having a second thought. Imo, for you spend the couple bucks and get both gaskets i have listed. Play it safe and the rest of the job is foolproof

 

oh okay. good news for once haha. thanks man. Ill probably buy the gaskets just to be safe.

 

Ya do both.
Theres 2 bolts for the heat shield
10 for the manifold
And 3 on the flange

I stood tjere for about 10 min first time i took my manifold off wondering why it wasnt coming off, so yea theres 10 bolts find em all
