Hardware needed for DP install

Just trying to figure out if I need to order all this from BMW:

2x V-band clamps 32.76 CAD ea
2x V-band gaskets (apparently there is gaskets in there) 26.08CAD ea
2x downpipe to exhaust gaskets 26.08 ea

Keep in mind my car has 60k miles and get ran in Canadian winters

Thanks

I wouldn't replace the V Band Clamps as they are pretty sturdy...the V Band gaskets don't need to be replaced either.

I replaced the downpipe to exhaust gaskets with the AR hardware and gaskets (see links below). Many feel the stock gaskets are as good as the AR ones. Change out the hardware at the least even if you go with stock gaskets.

DPs came with this, should I be concerned and replace them?

as long as they're constructed for high temps, you should be fine.
