• Restoration of proper exhaust system sealing on BMW 325i, 528e, and 635CSi applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and exhaust connection style before installation. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly so the gasket can seat evenly, and inspect the flange or manifold for warping, corrosion, or damage that could affect sealing. Verify the application notes for models listed as “to exhaust pipe,” including 535i, 535is, and 635CSi.
