Reusing exhaust gaskets!

Reusing exhaust gaskets!
Hi, I was stalking and learning alot on this forum since I was 17. I always dreamed of an RX-8 because I just luv the concept on 9500rpm with a rotary! <3. Finally after 4 years I got my own RX-8! Just love it even if it's missing some torque. And for gas consumption, compared to a 2007 Audi S4 it's economic lol. Ok, so I bought this car used, the injectors were dirty so I bought a cleaning solution. Did it work? Yes. Now it accelerates smoothly with abit more torque and starts better. But these products are to good to be true. All the gunk clogged my cat within hours... So I got a Agency dual resonator cat-delete pipe. I will install it tomorrow if I have time. My question was: can I reuse the gaskets? By the way, if I'm not posting in the right section please move. Thx in advance!

Muffler cement holds up just fine - it's made for those temps. But we still don't know if the OP was eager to get the thing on or just being cheap. FWIW, I started using muffler cement (along with coke cans and bailing wire) when I could not afford to properly fix an exhaust.

Really cheap if it was someone else's cork board.
I once plugged a leak in a gas tank with that putty-like stuff that's sold to stick posters to walls.

Okay, the company that sold me the cat delete told me that I can reuse the gaskets. I will reuse them because I can't wait till Mazda opens on monday to install my pipe! Thanks!
