Durable Graphite and Metal Construction

The 0.050-inch thickness provides a reliable seal between exhaust pipe flanges, while the 2.024-inch inside diameter matches OEM specifications for proper fit. The donut shape gasket design allows for even compression and sealing under flange pressure, reducing the risk of exhaust gas escape and noise.
