I haven't done it myself but it seems everytime it comes up its recommended. Do a search and you might find a more thorough response.

I guess it wouldnt hurt. $20 for the header gasket and collector gasket will save you a whole lot of heart ache in the long run.

Replace the gasket. would you rather do it right the first time or have to take it off again and then put the gasket in.
