Header install question

So I'm about to install my Megan shorty header which I bought used. I'm just curious...is there a gasket that I'm supposed to put in between the header and the block? Or does the OEM exhaust manifold have a gasket that I'm supposed to put on it?

Yeah what aliencowboy said. When i did my headers, i re-used my stock metal head gasket and the stock donut gasket. I didn't have time to go down 2 honda and order the gaskets so i reused the original ones. The one that goes between the engine and the headers is metal so it can be reused. The donut one can be reused as well, but eventually that will be worn down by normal usage so maybe after a couple years u can replace it.

Oh ok thanks guys

Since it's cheap I'll just go get new gaskets from Honda then. Thanks
