Like the title says. But, I have a huge rust hole in my exhaust pipe and emissions are coming up next month, so I have to get it fixed. So a replacement pipe is coming next week, and it says it's just bolt-off and bolt-on, which is great. But what else do I need? Gaskets? Which kind? Things like that.
-Thank for very much for the help! I don't know where else to look lol.

There are crush rings that seal up the different sections of the exhaust system. It is recommended that you replace them when you take the system apart. You can take a look at section 9 of this manual (http://honda.roadpwnage.com/manuals/pages/usdm-accord-1989-full.php) to get more info on the exhaust system.

Probably your biggest challenge is going to be getting the rusty bolts off without using an angle grinder.

You'll also probably need new hangers, and those are about as hard to put on as the nuts are to take off.
