you might want to invest in some hitemp cat free silicone sealant just a small smear in the faces will ensure a good seal. you might want to get some new bolts, but again they should come with the extractors.

No sealant needed

In general with the sort of Metal Gasket that mits supplies you can use them provided the plates on your extractors are good and flat.

If you are using aftermarket gaskets make sure the ones you get have the metal rings around the ports as most do not
