Yes, unless you wanna re-use yer old gaskets. Theyre cheap, stop by yer local nissan dealer n pick some up.. youll need 3. (2 on the top of Y, 1 on the bottom where that cat is)

Sorry I dont have the part #'s for you, im sure your dealer would.

You will need two crush rings that go in between the two exhaust manifolds and the y-pipe, and you will need one gasket to go between the y-pipe and the catalytic converter. Hope this helps

Reusing "crush" gaskets is a very bad idea. It almost always will lead to a leak...

Keep in mind this is IMHO...
