Question Header install: Do I need new gaskets or hardware?

I've got a used set of headers on the way that I bought from a member here. It does not have any gaskets or mounting hardware included. I've been searching for about an hour and cannot find out if I need to use new gaskets and hardware or if the stock stuff can be used.

If I need new gaskets or hardware, where is a good place to order them? Are there any good aftermarket items recommended? BTW, the headers are Topspeed Pro 1.

Its a good idea to get new ones. But you can get away with using the old ones a couple times.

I guess new stock gaskets are fine, correct? Nissan dealer, I hope, will have them in stock.

What about the hardware? Factory original, or are there any aftermarket companies (e.g. ARP) that have header studs for us?

The oem studs are fine. The gaskets are up to you. Ive installed three sets on headers on my car with the same gaskets. But if you do change em Nissans are what you want.
