Yes. since you will be getting all up in there... definitely get a new gasket.
the part where it didn't come with one is disappointing.

the oem is super thick and can be reused. otherwise get another oem one just in case because its really not a fun job to do a downpipe on this car. new 2 bot 3" gasket will be helpfull too.

Replacing the downpipe gasket will help reduce the chances of an exhaust leak. In other words it's definitely a good idea.
