Does exhaust elbow gasket restrictor have to be replaced if the elbow is removed from the manifold?

I disassembled the exhaust elbow from the manifold. The restrictor elbow gasket looks to be in good shape. Can it be reused or does it need to be replaced if the elbow is removed? -Gil

Ayuh,...... Reusing gaskets is not a wise idea, unless you like doin' the same task several times,....

$54 for one gasket is steep but my time is more valuable. thx

Sounds like the dry joint one,
