Entire exhaust off car...what else to do? 200 1993

OK....One thing leads to the next. I had posted earlier about replacing my head pipe:

Turns out that I will now be ordering a catylic converter as well. Getting the studs out of the old one is beyond my abilities/tools/patience. Right now the entire exhaust is removed from the car from head pipe to tail pipe. I will probably be replacing from the cat back too so it's all new at the same time and I don't end up in the "replace an exhaust part of the month club."

Anyway...now that the exhaust is out, is there anything else I should consider doing. For example, does it make sense to mess with the exhaust manifold gaskets? Nothing is leaking right now as far as I know. (I had one leak on a previous 240 and it make a distictive CHA CHA CHA sound. Don't have anything like that) Messing with these could be a significant nightmare and I've had enough of a nightmare already. However, if it make sense to do it, please let me know.

Exhausted,

Ted
