HELP PLEASE!!! Gasket question

Hello Everyone,

I have searched the forums, and I have been unable to find this information out. I am going to be installing my new exhaust system this weekend, and was wondering if I will need to get a new gasket, so that I can finish the installation. I am getting the Borla Agressive Cat Back System. If so, where can I get one? If anyone is able to help me out with this question it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Agreed, some systems will come with another gasket, but re-using the OEM will also work fine with no leaks.
