Use em both, the oem against the head, the bassani against the header, torque em and forget em .... worked for me...... went back to retighten after a week and none needed ......... Good luck.

I just used the OEM gaskets and have driven 5000+ miles over 7 months since installing the Bassanis and have never had a head/header bolt to be loose.....the flange bolts have been a different story..

i bought a new set of oem gaskets and have had them on 2 yrs and no leaks yet. still tight too. checked them when i changed the plugs a month ago.
