The extreme heat that comes off of the header flanges or stock exhaust manifolds can seriously test any gasket, causing them to allow for leaks over time. Not only that, but tossing a gasket each time you loosen the bolts is an extreme pain. That’s why Mr. Gasket is now making aluminum layered exhaust gaskets that can withstand heat, and don’t need to be replaced every time you loosen a bolt.
There are so many types of exhaust gaskets out there, and so many kinds (like one time use) make exhaust work more difficult. For most builds, using throwaway exhaust gaskets is a complete waste. When the exhaust needs to come off the car, you don’t want to have to replace the gaskets time and time again. The aluminum material these gaskets are made from makes it possible to reuse these over and over again without worry.
Outside of the reusable aspects of these gaskets, the construction solves all of your other exhaust problems as well. They won’t shrink, they won’t deteriorate, and they won’t blow out. Essentially, exhaust leaks will become a think of the past, and it’s about time.
Why is this all important? Because exhaust leaks are a big problem, no matter what caused them. Be it a reused gasket that wasn’t supposed to go back on, a bad seal, or a blown out gasket, power is being lost when exhaust leaks exist.
The new layered aluminum gaskets by Mr. Gasket come in a variety of designs for Ford, GM, and Mopar models. They are made for exhaust manifolds, headers, and collectors. They have precision mounting-bolt tolerances so the gaskets position perfectly over the ports for a better seal. The slotted bolt holes make it so you don’t have to completely remove the headers/components to remove the gasket.
