Aftermarket O2 Housing and Gaskets

First, yes I've searched.

Second, This is for those with an Ebay, Helix, or Megan Racing O2 Housing, did you use the gaskets it came with or use the stock ones? I'm aware that the Megan Racing Gasket for the Turbo Manifold are junk and should use the stock one instead. Is this true for the O2 Housing as well?

Thanks.

Always use a brand new OEM gasket, mitsu has them for cheap.

I actually returned my Helix and bought the Invidia then had it ceramic coated at Swain.

i re-used the stock exhaust manifold, and exhaust/hotside flange gaskets.

for hotside to 02 housing i used the megan/ebay sandwiched steel looking gasket.

no problems so far....

The O2 housing gasket that comes with the Megan Racing housing was just plain low quality. Just use a OEM O2 gasket, it's cheap insurance against leaks. It's better to do it right the first time.
