Gasket for new exhaust?

Guy, I'm ready to install my new Greddy exhaust, and I read that a new 'gasket' should be installed anytime you switch an exhaust...I checked the part diagram, and all I could see is 'ring seal' for that connection.

Is this the 'gasket' I should be getting?

is it the "ring seal" that goes between the down pipe and exhaust? if so, then i believe thats it, because the gasket that goes between the down pipe and rest of the exhaust looks like a donut that gets wedged between the 2 gaskets inside the piping.

Yea, it's a round shaped seal that goes in the pipe. That seal is expensive! $25cdn at the dealer.

I just wanted to make sure if this is the right part to get, as it looks way different than a typical exhaust gasket...thanks for the help!
