No, the gaskets are usually pretty generic lol.

Just make sure to get 3 bolt and 2 bolt ones since the connection to the header, and the connection to the Y-pipe are 3 and 2 bolt respectively.

The biggest problem with the demon bolt is people trying to remove it, messing it up, then being unable to 'fix' it once they've started. So now they have an exhaust leak. Be sure that at the first sign of noticing it's not doing what you want, unless you have the tools to remove it by other means, stop what you're doing and just take it to a shop where they can. Otherwise you risk stripping your header and now you have an exhaust leak.

If you're giving it 24+ hours of PB blaster, I do the same, occasionally coming back out to spray more every few hours, it should be ok. Some people have had success with heating the bolt as well. Although I'm not sure about doing this when it's covered with a flammable liquid such as the PB Blaster... so take that with some caution.
