Exhaust gasket material for flange gaskets?

Hi everyone:

I ordered a collector reducer to connect to my MSA downpipe (to stock manifold). The collector reducer comes with a paper gasket. Is  this paper gasket sufficient? I see that there are other varieties of gaskets like copper, aluminum, and non-asbestos type fiber material, but I don't know if they are overkill for a street car? Thank you.

I've bought all my exhaust stuff from MSA and the gaskets that go in between the different pieces look to be paper but have aluminum inside, in between the paper.  If your's are stiff they're probably made this way.  You should be able to tell if they're just paper though, they'll be easy to bend.  Most muffler shops could sale you a good gasket if it's just paper.
