F-Sport has 3 pieces, the one connect to mid pipe reuse the stock bolts.
each side muffler pipe uses 2 bolts that should be part of exhaust. there are no gaskets, but 3 O-rings. Optionally, you can buy gasket from auto part store if any of the pipe leaked.

This thread reminded me when I installed my Tanabe exhausts. I was like spiderman under the car using my knees, elbows, etc to hold the exhaust trying to get it on and off the hangers.
As pli said, makes sure to soak the bolt in WD-40 overnight and then tap it with the wrench to loosen it up a bit to allow the lube to seep into the threads.
If you are doing it alone, have an extra jackstand to support one exhausts while you work on the other. It helps to have an extra person to support the exhaust... otherwise, you'll be like spiderman under the car bending all over the place.

I ended up placing JACK STANDS under the front and rear ends. So, the entire vehicle was off the ground. Then sprayed WD40 or any other penetrating oil on all the rubber hangers. Then removed the two bolts at the mid pipe first and then work you way back removing the rubber hangers from the exhaust piping end only (no need to remove other end on vehicle) starting from the mid pipe and working your way back to the rear of the vehicle. Then install in reverse order. (installing the mufflers first and working your way back to the mid pipe). That way....no need to play the SUPERMAN role holding the exhaust system with your knees.
Good Luck
PS. it was easier for me to use channel Lock pliers to remove the black rubber hangers from the exhaust system.
