    If the stock gaskets are metal, I would use those with some Permatex gray RTV. That combo kept my LS2 GTO leak free for years.

    If you got JBA long tubes, their raised port design doesn’t mate up well with the oem gaskets. A thicker gasket like remflex works a lot better at sealing the AIP

    Metal gaskets, Permatex Gray, lock washers and anti-seize on the bolts. You will not have problems.
