Not usually, though I'm sure they would contribute if worn. In my experience, 
the gasket will last about 3000 miles between changes on a well maintained and 
unmodified car. The failure is also common on the Dolomite 1500 which uses the 
same downpipe arrangement, though obviously the rest of the system is different,
    Cheers,
       Bill.
