cat-back install question
I may be buying and installing a used cat back exhaust. I've noticed when reading the installation instructions for borlas/corsas/etc. they usually provide new exhaust flange gaskets to go between the stock H-pipe and the new exhaust pipes. Can I simply reuse the gaskets that are on my car? If not, does anybody know the part # or where I could buy new gaskets? Is there something else I could use in its place? Thanks for any info.

They are used at the rear flanges of the H-pipe center section and your cat-back "over axle" pipes. Any GM dealer will probably have them as well as many auto parts stores as well. HTH

Thanks for all the great info guys. I called a local GM parts department and they want $12 a piece for these things. 
I 've been calling around to Napa, Autozone, etc. and all I can find is the exhaust to manifold gasket which isn't what I'm looking for. I'm not sure if they aren't understanding what gasket I want or nobody carries it.
