Shop Replacement Exhaust Pipe Connector Gaskets

An exhaust flange gasket is a seal between two exhaust pipes to prevent exhaust leaks. These gaskets may be located between the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, or muffler and the exhaust pipe. Exhaust connector gaskets are commonly made of metal or temperature- and pressure-resistant materials to withstand constant heat cycling and exhaust system operation. These gaskets are durable but may wear out over time due to age, exposure to heat, friction, and general use. A bad exhaust flange gasket can cause excessive exhaust noise, reduced power or acceleration, decreased fuel economy, or a fuel or exhaust smell in your vehicle's cabin. Be sure to inspect your exhaust components for signs of exhaust leaks and replace any gaskets or leaking components if needed. Ignoring a bad exhaust gasket can not only cause decreased engine performance but may also result in increased emissions and a noisier exhaust system.
