AP Exhaust 8710 Flange Gasket Overview

AP Exhaust 8710 is an exhaust pipe flange gasket for sealing a 3-bolt exhaust connection. With a 2-3/32 inch inside diameter and 2-3/4 inch bolt-to-bolt length, it is built for applications that require a precise flange seal to reduce exhaust leakage at the joint.

Compatible With select Volkswagen Passat, Saturn Ion, Saturn SC1, Saturn SC2, Saturn SL, Saturn SL1, Saturn SL2, Saturn SW1, Saturn SW2, Nissan Sentra, and Nissan Pulsar NX applications, AP Exhaust 8710 supports a direct-fit style repair where the flange pattern matches the vehicle connection.

Key Features

  • Exhaust pipe flange gasket for sealing a 3-bolt exhaust flange connection
  • Inside diameter: 2-3/32 inch
  • Bolt-to-bolt length: 2-3/4 inch
  • Bolt hole quantity: 3
  • AP Exhaust part number 8710 for catalog lookup and fitment matching

Detailed Description

AP Exhaust 8710 is a sealing gasket used at the exhaust pipe flange to help maintain a tight joint between exhaust components. The listed dimensions are important for fitment: the 3-bolt pattern, 2-3/4 inch bolt-to-bolt length, and 2-3/32 inch inside diameter help identify the correct gasket for the flange design. This part number 8710 is listed for a range of older import and domestic compact applications, including 2004-2005 Volkswagen Passat and multiple Saturn and Nissan models.

For buyers searching for an exhaust pipe flange gasket for 2004-2005 Volkswagen Passat or a replacement gasket for Saturn Ion, Sentra, or SC-series exhaust flange service, AP Exhaust 8710 provides a dimension-based match for the connection point rather than a universal seal.

What It Helps Fix

  • Exhaust leaks at a 3-bolt flange joint
  • Noise from a leaking exhaust connection
  • Soot or residue around the flange sealing surface
  • Loss of sealing after exhaust service or component replacement
  • Fitment issues when the original flange gasket is worn or compressed

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the flange pattern, inside diameter, and bolt-to-bolt length before installation. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly so the gasket can seat evenly, and inspect the flange for warping, corrosion, or damage that could affect sealing. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed fitment for 2004-2005 Volkswagen Passat, 2003-2004 Saturn Ion, 1993-2002 Saturn SC1/SC2/SL/SL1/SL2, 1993-2001 Saturn SW2, 1993-1999 Saturn SW1, and 1986-1988 Nissan Sentra or 1987-1988 Nissan Pulsar NX.

Quality Assurance

AP Exhaust is a recognized exhaust-system brand, and part number 8710 is cataloged with specific dimensional data to support accurate application matching. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
