Exhaust install help!

Getting ready to put a 4" Magnaflow system on today and am not sure if there is a gasket between the turbo and downpipe. I checked at local NAPA but they only had parts diagrams from cat back. I want to have all supplies on hand so no emergency trips to parts store. Any and all suggestions for an easy install taken. Thanks.

No gasket on my 99, I soaked the manifold bolts for a few days with penetrating oil and still had to use a electric impact wrench to get them loose. Be very careful not to round them off. I think the best way to install is to hang the complete exhaust and adjust before tightening. Also after several heat and cool cycles you should re-tighten everything....Good luck and enjoy....
