Exhaust Installation question

[Yves]

Hi folks,

I've got an intercangeable exhaust system (3 bolt flanges) which I am about to swap again next week.

Since I've recently moved to Europe, this is more complicated than it sounds (availability of US spec spare parts)

Question :
- do I need to use NEW gaskets where the 2 parts connect (you may have guessed it, I'm down to spare 1 gasket)? Or is it safe to re-use the old ones ?
- for my motorcycle I use a sealing compound when I work on my exhaust. Is this also a must for cars ?

Thanks !

That is a standard three bolt gasket. Summit has them in either copper or aluminum. Order over the internet.
