Default Phenolic intake spacer BT

I received my intake spacers from ASP, but there are only 2 metal gaskets included. Should it have 4 (top and bottom for both spacers)? I have STFA and it looks like other installs have gaskets top and bottom. Should I head to the dealer and get a couple sets of OEM gaskets?

Any advice would be appreciated. I emailed ASP last week, but haven't heard anything.

Default get a couple more oem gaskets

I tried re-using the original gaskets on mine, and found that they leaked. Best to use 4 new gaskets, IMHO, especially considering the relatively low cost (approx $8). If you have to re-use the old ones, I suggest coating them with gasket sealer.

I always heard never to reuse gaskets. Better to be safe than sorry.
