Victor Reinz 15-52513-01 Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set

Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set for OE-Style Sealing

Victor Reinz 15-52513-01 is an exhaust manifold gasket set built for high-heat sealing at the manifold-to-cylinder head interface. It uses graphite and metal construction to support consistent sealing on applications that see repeated thermal cycling, including Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Pickup, Nissan D21, and Nissan 300ZX fitments.

Key Features

• Graphite and metal construction for exhaust sealing under high temperatures
• Two-piece configuration for the listed applications
• OE-spec focused design from a supplier with long-standing original equipment experience
• Color may vary by production batch
• Part number 15-52513-01 for accurate ordering and catalog matching

Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 15-52513-01 is engineered for exhaust manifold sealing where heat and expansion can challenge gasket integrity. The graphite and metal material combination is selected for durability at the manifold joint, while the OE-spec approach reflects the brand’s history supplying manifold gaskets to vehicle manufacturers. This makes it a practical choice for restoring exhaust sealing on older Nissan platforms as well as later applications in the same family.

This part cross-references MAHLE MS15363W for the same application. The part number 15-52513-01 is also commonly used when searching for an exhaust manifold gasket set for Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Pickup, Nissan D21, and Nissan 300ZX applications.
