Installing Header - do I need to change gaskets?

Will be picking up a used Comptech header tonight (for $250 - not bad given its performance in the header test).

Do I need to change any gaskets when installing the header? My car has 15k miles.

Unless it's a JDM version, nope.

I wouldn't. I did replace my donut gasket and cat to bpipe gasket (had to) but used the old head->header gasket. It looked to be in fine condition with 32kish on it.
