Used apex n1 cat back, do I need new gasket?

[rs2nr]

Hey guys I recently purchased a used apexi n1 cat back and apexi downpipe. My question is whether I will require any new gaskets for install or can I just reuse what's there already. I know extreme psi sells those high temp exhaust gaskets but if I don't need to than I'll just install the system. Thanks.

New gaskets are always a plus, but not required..There a plus because then you know you will not have a leak..

Will the extreme psi high temp one be good? Or get some oem gasket

You don't need one if the gasket isn't ripped. Just resurface the connecting joints, use copper spray and you're good to go.

edit:
High temp isn't necessary.

Gaskets aren't expensive so I always replace them after removing any part of the exhaust. The one time I was cheap and didn't replace the gasket between my downpipe and cat-back, I got a leak so I always just replace them.

Oh! My bad! Let me elaborate. If you have like junk from the gasket sticking onto the part of the down pipe or what ever. Just scrape or resurface with sand paper to get the junk off! The goal is you want an even surface so no surprise later!
