the flex allows the pipe to move when the engine rolls forward and such. and if your buyin the weld in there is no need for gaskets, unless you have a leak.

You may not need to replace the gaskets but they're only a few dollars, if that. Since they're going to be removed, why not replace with the old ones with some new ones?

Always replace gaskets. They're cheap and help to prevent leaks that will only annoy you into taking it apart again to replace them. By the way I believe the stock gaskets work fine with the 3 inch DPs.
