I wanted to share the condition of my exhaust/intake manifold gasket, it was in pieces unlike the new one I ordered from the dealer. Most of the cork was gone from between the metal shell. The cylinder 4 exhaust position was in real bad shape, I don't believe it was holding a seal so it was a good thing I replaced it even though it was a big job for me.
