Exhaust gasket?

I was replacing the muffler on my daughters '94' explorer and noticed a exhaust leak at the point where the (guessing name)exhaust manifolds and the pipe section in front of the catalytic converter meet. Is there a gasket between those two section or do I need to just cut off the three rusted bolts and put new bolts on? Any help would be great. Thanks

There should be a gasket in there, probably a donut looking type gasket, but there are several other kinds. Shouldn't cost more than a couple bucks.

I hate those connections. You can cut out the joint and weld in a piece of pipe in it's stead. I'm crazy though, it would cost more than a gasket.

I think thats where mine is leaking too. I was going to replace the manifolds with headers if it was the manifold gaskets...but hopefully I wont have to.
