Intalling a midpipe

I recently ordered a racing beat midpipe and now im waiting for it to come in. Im curious to know if should order any other parts or do any other work since ill be working under the car. Ex. high performance hangers from RR or new gaskets.

Some RTV could help too. I reused my gaskets, and I don't think I have a leak. I'll have to take a peek under the car to see if there is any soot at the joints.

The RB will come with the manifold ring gasket not the exhaust donut.
