Default Exhaust/Turbo Gaskets

I'm swapping out my headers and turbo this weekend on my '97 WRX, and I was wondering if its advised to replace all the gaskets or if the original items will still be OK to use??
If I need new ones, where's the best place to get them from, as I cant seem to find any

Cheers in advance

Whilst it's a fair job, and that gaskets are important parts on the system, I would defo get new items - you'd be well annoyed if at least one of them started blowing, after refitting everything, etc... Do it right; do it once!


These are the cheapest ALL-METAL items I've seen on eBay...

Block to headers...

As touched upon by the others, prob best to get all gaskets from ZEN - they're bound to have all of them in stock... plus they'll be pukka.
