The stock Honda gasket at the rear of the cat is a crush ring gasket. If you buy a new one it will be a rounded ring. After you install it for the first time it crushes flat and embeds inside of the exhaust flange. You can pull it off to replace it with a small flat head screw driver or a pick. It's not really meant to be reused.
All of the aftermarket exhausts or test pipes should come with the flat gasket that you see in xviper's picture above.

So a question for both Xviper and Bryan (more Bryan considering I bought a test pipe from him and have yet to install it):
I'm assuming from the header comes a donut gasket, which is a thick threaded metal and I'm assuming you just reuse that and slide the test pipe over it without the need of an additional/replacement gasket?

It's the ring at the top center of the photo:

If you're replacing an OEM exhaust, you'll want to pry the old crush gasket out of the OEM exhaust and replace it with a new one. It's not permanently attached, just takes a little prying to get out and it isn't a good idea to reuse it as its a crush type.
But if you're using an aftermarket exhaust you'll want to go with one of the flat triangular gaskets
