If they are in there then they are within the bubble wrap on something i didn't fully unwrap. And it was just questioning that there is a tube that says exhaust gasket sealant or something like that implying that the tube of sealant is in replacement of a gasket from heads to engine. I just want to make sure I install it properly with it without gaskets as needed.

I know this is probably the first time you have done this and want to do it properly, just take your time. the rings should be there in the kits I have fitted a couple of these kits and never had anything missing.
also the gasket paste is for the assembly of the pipes. call it assemble paste apply a little on the joins while putting it together it makes the joints gas tight.
the stock pipes use a soft carbon sleeve between the headers and the cans, aftermarket pipes do not as they are made to narrower tolerances. in the fit. that's why they supply the paste instead of carbon sleeves.

So i finally had the opportunity to check the package for those proper gaskets again and I did locate them. They were just taped under one the bubble wraps and i just have overlooked due to distraction of that perfect execution of carbon fiber and that shinnyness of stainless. Now hopefully i can get warm enough weather to start getting stuff assembled. Thanks again for the advice and suggestion.
