An Exhaust Muffler Gasket is an essential component of your exhaust system. They seal the joints where the exhaust pipe and the header pipe come together, allowing the exhaust to be vented properly and safely. The muffler is also crucial in limiting the amount of exhaust noise.

Exhaust manifold gaskets are also important components of the exhaust system, as they seal the connection between the exhaust manifold and cylinder head. This gasket helps to prevent exhaust from leaking and ensures that the exhaust gases are properly directed through the catalytic converter. Similarly, flange and ring gaskets are important to seal other connection points in the exhaust system.

The copper crush ring exhaust gasket is more difficult to work with than other types of gaskets, and requires a special tool to nest the gasket flush in the exhaust ports. Flat ring style graphite wire mesh exhaust gaskets are another popular option that is easier to install. Stainless steel wire mesh exhaust gaskets are also available.

A damaged exhaust manifold gasket can cause a range of symptoms. Firstly, a damaged gasket will cause an increase in engine noise. The gasket seals in the exhaust gasses as well as sound, and if the gasses are escaping from the exhaust, it will cause extra noise inside the engine.
