I will be replacing my exhaust in about one week and I was wondering if I should buy a new gasket for between the manifold and midpipe, my car has 45000 miles? Also any tips to make this job easier would be great.
You might as well buy the gasket just in case. They are like 9 bucks from Ford, and if you don't end up needing it, you can always return it. I had like 5k on my car when I swapped mid-pipes, so my stock gasket looked just fine.
