Default Pypes question concerning manifold to downpipes connection gasket

Got my exhaust system by pypes. I cant remember if there is a gasket or donut gasket that goes between the downpipe and the exhaust manifold or does it just bolt up bare and tighten up??
Thanks

Not sure if all manifolds are the same, but the long-branch don't use any gaskets to the downpipes.

There is a flare on the downpipe that just bolts to a factory manifold. No donut gasket.
