Default exhaust gaskets, should I get new ones? going back to stock exhaust

When I had my exhaust installed one of the gaskets was bent. we bent it back as flat as possible and installed with no issues.

I am going back to stock - should I bother to pick up new gaskets? I think it will be fine, but if anyone thinks I should pick up some new ones I'd like to hear it.

thank you in advance.

common sense: they are working fine, use them again

perfectionist: .. replace them.

^my train of thought.

No. Use the old gaskets. Do a half-*** job.

Unless you're going to put the nuts finger tight you'll be fine. I've reused metal gaskets a lot and don't have a leak.
