That's an intake manifold gasket.
It is made of cardboard, not optimal for exhaust.
I just use permatex copper sealant for that gasket, as well as my other exhaust gaskets (exept the one between the manifold/turbo and turbo/elbow) and it holds up great! Doesn't seem to blow out like those chinese made paper gaskets. Your original gasket looks OK, but I wouldn't reuse that carbon paper type gasket.
