Do I need a gasket for my exhaust?
yes, always replace gaskets when adjacent parts are disturbed. it is important to have a clean, even, sealable mating surface on each part so that the gasket can do it’s job. if you can’t get the gasket mating surfaces flat, clean, and smooth, have the parts machined by a machine shop for a few bucks.Click…

Just so, do exhaust gaskets need sealant?You shouldn’t need to use sealant on the gaskets. Most exhaust manifold gaskets either come with their own sealant (like Fel-Pro’s do with the silver looking stuff), or they are metal and don’t require it either. If you don’t, you could have slight low spots in your manifold which could allow for exhaust leakage.Beside above, what can be used for exhaust gasket? Aluminum exhaust gasket. Much heavier duty than the stock replacement gasket. Can be used with any exhaust system and is easily hand machined to match any exhaust set-up. Soft aluminum makes a great seal and matches the metallurgy of the engine.

An exhaust leak can decrease fuel efficiency, causing your engine to work harder, and you to fill up your gas tank more frequently. A third sign your exhaust may be leaking is if your gas pedal vibrates while you are driving.
