yeah, those gaskets shouldn't be reused. Best to put a fresh one on when installing the RP. (it's what I did)
also, check the welds on the heat shield around the cat. They're not the greatest and down the weld could break and cause excessive rattle.
Easy fix though, just have someone throw a quick spot weld on it or do it yourself. (muffler shops can probably do it for less then $20)
