gaskets for exhaust headers?

Just bought used exhaust headers off CL for cheap BUT it's just two pieces. No Gaskets - just the three bolts that attach two pieces. I emailed DC Sports but got no reply
Question: do I need gaskets?
...between engine & 4-2 piece?...between the 4-2 & 2-1 piece ? ...between the 2-1 piece and the rest of the exhaust pipe under car? And, will the existing oem header bolts be sufficient for this aftermarket replacement?
1995 Civic CX -- D15B8 engine.

Thanks. An oem gasket is already present now, right? Can that be re-used for these aftermarket headers I got?

Re: gaskets for exhaust headers?

you can go to your shop and buy a gasket maker set. they give you sheet of gasket and you basically cut it out to what size you need(for the head to header). my meyers sold it.. for the 3 bolt gaskets i used the "Mr gasket" set from autozone. good gaskets! 3 bolt gasket for 8 bucks.
