Default necessity of gaskets

im posting this thread to see if there's anybody who has his/her aftermarket exhaust or hfcs installed without gaskets. the question: Are they necessary to have when installing any aftermarket part? I've read posts where ppl complained leaks in their exhaust. your input will be greatly appreciated.
