Default Muffler swap question

Picked up a used set of Borlas that I'm going to install. Is there a gasket at each of the two junctions between the mufflers' pipes and the intermediate pipes?

Well, I would expect there to be a gasket, but some manufacturers don't use one on this type of junction. Figured I'd ask before I made a trip to the dealer to get a part that doesn't exist. Thanks for the feedback!

The oem mufflers use a gasket and my rmm exhaust came with new gaskets. I'd be very surprized if borla did not use gaskets.
