Default Exaust Gaskets

Need advice.
Bought V&H's Power Duals from a member here.
My question is, should I replace the OEM port gaskets or just leave em in there ? They didn't come out when I removed the stock header.
3000 miles on the bike.

Will do. How do the originals come out ? It feels like there's nothing in there.

There is pobably a better way, but I used needle nose pliers, very carefully as not to scratch the mating surfaces. Its a crush type gasket, once you have the new ones in hand you'll better be able to see how to get the old ones out I think.

when I got my power duels they came with gaskets...and yes you should change them as the power duels have a different shape flange then the stock header does and the se type gasket works better for them.

Vance and Hines recommends the SE exhaust gaskets for all their headers. I installed the Dresser Duals on my 2012 Street Glide and the SE gaskets worked perfectly.
