Default Need new gasket when fitting downpipe?

I am about to fit a secondhand scoobysport downpipe on my MY00 GT, however, I was wondering if I would need a set of new gaskets? (seals) Or will the original gasket work fine? (if in ok condition)

I've been told the original is a steel gasket and can be re-used. I find out next week sometime when I get my H&S Downpipe fitted.......

It's advisable to use a new turbo-to-downpipe gasket. The downpipe-to-centre "doughnut" gasket is re-usable though.
