New TP's do I need gaskets?
 
My ZR has about 45K miles on it. I was told I could just re use my stock gaskets for the Berk test pipes. I am getting these on tomorrow. Did you guys just keep your stock gaskets. If not can I just go to autozone? I don't feel like going to dealer and paying 40.00 for gaskets.

If the originaly gaskets are in good shape you can re-use them. If you are unsure how good they are lather on a little Permatex Ultimate copper on each side. That stuff is absolutely the best gasket bar none. My whole exhaust on my talon (except the exhaust manifold to the head) was done with Permatex Ultimate Copper. It never leaks and holds together like a mofo, even between the manifold and turbo connection, the ultra copper held a tight seal and no leaking with 1800 deg exhaust gases going through. A light bit of that on each side of the original gasket you're golden (no pun intended).

Every car enthusiasts should have a tube of this and the silicone grey in their box.
