The front section is sealed with a tapered graphite/Carbon ring which sits over the Dpipe, These can deteriorate over time, But generally are not to bad, The rear section has a steel sandwhich gasket, Which again normally falls apart once removed.
As for resealing just use a high temp silicone (they do make Cat safe stuff, But you have no cats ), Put a bead on the inside face (Dpipe Side) where the Sealing ring touches & a bead either side of the old rear gasket (assuming it survives)
Just before you nip everything up good & tight, you may want to get someone to align the backbox & hold it there as you tighten fully, as they can move
Simple job really if the bolts undo, If not, good old hacksaw & some new ones from B & Q Etc
