The original gasket should be replaced or you will likely end up with a leak there, and the provided gasket is pretty cheap so you will want to go and get a new one. I just got one from Advance Auto though you can certainly get one from Ford. They are less than $10 and will greatly decrease your chances of a leak. Do it right the first time so you don't have to do it again later.

It will be the gasket for the exhaust manifold/header pipe and the midpipe connection, and only on the passenger side. Just go to Ford and tell them that you need a passenger side flange gasket for your exhaust, they should know what you mean. I can't think of an official name for it off the top of my head but that's close enough. If they don't know tell them it's the gasket that connects the manifold pipe to the midpipe.
