Re-Seal the exhaust pipe?

I am about to disconnect the header and the exhaust for a moment (20 mins), do I have to get new gasket and seals and such? Thanx.

Yes. Just get the new exhaust gasket. It should be made of aluminum or other soft crushable metal to seal the gaps. Cork would burn.

Do you really have to disconnect the headers from the block? Could u get away with disconnecting them from below and leaving them on the block? This way you have less bolts to deal with and a smaller, way less expensive gasket to replace.
