This Corteco exhaust pipe gasket ensures a leak-proof seal between exhaust manifold and pipe sections. It is a critical component in the engine's exhaust system, preventing the escape of harmful gases and maintaining optimal engine performance. Manufactured in Germany, this gasket measures 20 x 130 x 165 mm and carries MPN 027496H. This gasket utilizes high-quality materials designed to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures, ensuring durability and a long service life, while also contributing to reduced emissions and improved fuel efficiency. This gasket’s job is pretty simple – it creates a seal between sections of your exhaust pipe. Think of it like a barrier preventing exhaust gases from leaking out. It’s usually made of a compressed fiber or metal material, sometimes with a coating to help it withstand the heat and pressure. It fills in any little imperfections where the pipes join. It sits right where two sections of your exhaust pipe connect – like where the manifold connects to the downpipe, or between sections of the pipe running under the car. Basically, anywhere the exhaust system has a joint, you’ll find a gasket there. It's a small part, but essential to keeping everything connected and sealed up. Well, if this gasket fails, you’ll start to notice exhaust leaks. You’ll hear a hissing or chugging sound, especially when starting or accelerating. Beyond the noise, those leaks can let dangerous exhaust fumes into the cabin, which you definitely want to avoid. It can also cause a loss of engine power because the exhaust isn’t flowing efficiently. Over time, a leak can also cause corrosion around the connection. They're cheap to replace, really, especially if you grab one from a place like Fixparts Online, and a lot easier to deal with before a small leak turns into a bigger, more expensive issue. You’ll notice if it’s gone bad, it'll be pretty obvious when you're under the car or when you start hearing something you shouldn't. It acts like a shield, preventing those gases from escaping. Easy returns and support: Exhaust Pipe Gasket (MPN 027496H) has a 12-month warranty!
