There's a gasket but I just used the original one because I didn't know and thus didn't buy a gasket. I'd say buy one, I'll replace mine w/e I have the time to get under it again. Unless your car barely has any miles on it...

the rear OEM gasket is a multi-layer metal gasket that can be re-used many times

Reuse your OEM ones or if they are older get new OEM ones the ones they give you aren't that good and will need to be replaced sooner. They will break down and cause an exhaust leak.
