Meh, just reuse it lol. Worst case, the leak will be tiny and you can order a new one and still drive the car until you get it. FP/MP joint is easy to access

Very true. Much easier than the op/fp connection (glad I don't have that any more! viva-la one piece!) or the header/op connection (only requires aluminum undertray removal... which is 7 or more clips, quite a few 12mm bolts, and 4 10mm bolts... annoying as hell).

just get gasket and replace them. I didnt replace mine but my car had less than 1,500 mileage so. dont do double work. lol
