Gasket needed for EGR cleaning?

Hi. I just had a quick question. I am going to clean out my EGR ports before I sell the car (hopefully for a CL), so I went to autozone to get an intake manifold gasket.. and the one that they gave me doesn't look like the one in this picture. They gave me two, each of which has only 3 holes in it? The holes are in line, not staggered like they are in the pictures.


<I have a 2000 TL. The one pictured is a 99>

So if I'm cleaning out the EGR ports I can just use my old gasket?

Looks like I'll try to return these then!

Ok, thanks guys. I just used my old gasket, and returned those others. Cleaning the EGR ports out helped a lot. Now my revs are normal, instead of the old ~200 rpm fluctuating. Those thing were dirty!
