Dude, don't worry about it and stop stressing. When you are at the point of installing the pipe you will see if the diameter fits perfectly over the mid pipe or if it fits loose. If the new pipe fits over the mid pipe loosely then you will need the gasket. If it fits nice and snug, almost tight to the point where you have to muscle it on to seat on the rim that the gasket used to sit on then you don't need the gasket. It is really that simple. You should go out and buy some Hi Temp RTV and use some on the mating surfaces where each pipe connects to eliminate leaks.
I would think with how popular Yoshimura is that they would include detailed instructions with their products.

They did, have to see what they say on the gasket though. I just have never done an exhaust system on a bike before and I don't want to mess it up. Also I don't want to have to redo it also. Just trying to make sure I have all my bases covered.

I know what you mean wanting to do it right the fist time, trust me I've been there.

Yes since this is my first bike I feel like and idiot. I put a fender eliminator on last weekend and learned some about taking off stuff. Luckily a lot of the things I need to remove to put on the exhaust I had to remove for the fender eliminator.
I checked with Yoshi and they said to USE the stock gasket and if it is messed up to get a new one. Guess I will go with that.
