Exhaust gasket question...

I am putting in the twins this weekend and figured I probably should get a new exhaust gasket. But when I checked advanced auto's website, this is what popped up.
Is that what I need? I havent taken the headers off my truck before, but that isnt what I have seen on other vehicles. Thanks!!

You should post this question in the 2nd gen performance section. If TJ was still here i'm sure he would have the answer. i didn't think they had a manifold gasket.

When I did mine, there were gaskets they looked roughly like that. I used the recommended ones from ATS when I put mine back together. If you're doing twins, I assume you are using an aftermarket manifold?

I'm pretty sure these are the ones I used:

yup that is pretty much what they are, just use some high tac(gasket glue) to hold them on the block and slide the manifold on there and torgue the bolts up and if you can after you run it retorque them.

I just did this about a month ago when i installed my HTT turbo and manifold...instead of using the glue, the bolt holes on the gaskets have little tabs protruding in so the bolts kind of have to "thread" into the gasket, I put all 12 bolts into the manifold and threaded the gaskets on, then when installing the manifold you can just go along and start the bolts.
