Hey, I have some second hand headers and H pipe that I want to put on my stang this weekend, but I don't know what gaskets I need for inbetween the header and H, and between the H and catback.

I already have a set of percy's header gaskets.

Would be nice if I could pick something up locally, I am installing them in CT but I live in PA, not being able to get them means another trip up here next week :/

you shouldn't need any gaskets for the midpipe to C/B connection, but i don't know about about the header to midpipe connection.

Do you know what brand of headers they are? Is it the old school triangle type flange? If so, it is more than likely 3" and you can get those gaskets at a local parts store.

Something like this...

You shouldn't need a gasket for BBK headers to mate up to their matching h pipe. They should have the ball/socket type flange just like how the catback mates up to the midpipe.
