Probably not worth re-using exhaust gaskets. If it were me, I would spend the money and buy another set of GM stock gaskets and not have to worry about exhaust leaks and doing it all over again..

You could if they are in half decent shape, a lot of people do that. I went ahead and replaced mine because after 65k they didn't look to good, and it was also cheap insurance.

Part number 12558573

I would do it.
