I just bought a set of Longtube headers and want to know if using the stock bolts and gasket will prevent any exhaust leaks?

I used the original gaskets, and factory studs and nuts.

I had about 23k miles on the car and it was about 7 months old, so I figured the original ones would work.

I have about 35k on the car now, and no leaks of any kind.
