Does your new exhaust not come with new gaskets and hardware? When I bought a used Fast Intentions exhaust, I called them up to order a new hardware kit (includes all nuts, bolts and gaskets) for it. Then when I bought a new one from them, it came with a new hardware kit as well.
FWIW, even with PB Blaster and hand tools I broke the first 3 bolts I attempted to remove the first time I removed my exhaust around 30K miles. I'd recommend having replacement hardware on hand if you don't already.

So I'd be looking to get 4 of those, and then 2 that are dedicated for use between the Y-pipe and mid pipe? |
The gaskets you link go between the cats and the y-pipe. There is a separate single gasket you need for the y-pipe to the mid-pipe (
here).
There are two more gaskets from the mid-pipe to the muffler. I would call Z1 to verify (I think they open in ~30 min), but my guess is you were right that you need 4 of those first gaskets - 2 between cats and y-pipe and 2 between mid-pipe and muffler.
