Replacing exhaust

Hi,
The vehicle is registered to plate N310 RGD.
When replacing the exhaust, is there any asbestos containing gaskets leading from the tail to the first main connection ie the diamond shaped plate connnecting the exhaust?
I have been told that the gasket will be ciramic but I can't believe that on an exhaust.
Many thanks in advance for your answer(s).
Regards,
Andy

Thank you for your answers.
Just so that we are absolutely clear, were the original gaskets all ceramic? I realise that any modern replacement will be to modern standards but I am suprised that they are ceramic. That's quality for you as most manufacturers are metal.
Thanks.
Regards,
Andy

if you were to reuse tha old ones (like i do) and they look a little distorted or flat i just use a smear of exhaust assembly paste to make sure or i saw a stainless system this week that wasnt designed to take any gasket at all, as it didnt have a seat ring, the fitter had just used the modern quick way----high temp silicon as the flanges were flat butt fit.
