Do I need new bolts and Gaskets

OK, I just bought my new Exoticspeed Exhaust, and I'm going to be installing it in about a week. My car has 5000 miles on it, and I was wondering do I need to get new bolts and gaskets? Thank you all in advance for helping me.

Is it header back or cat-back? Are you sure it deosn't come with the hardware?

The crush gasket between the header and midpipe - yes, you need a new one
The donut style gasket between the midpipd and catback - optional but recommended
Bolts - optional but i'd rommend then since exhaust bolts corrode easily and a stuck or stripped bolt would be a bad day

see rosenthal for the parts...

It should come with gaskets. Ask.

The bolt tend to heat up and freese on the car, so.... be prepared to buy some bolts and nuts.
