• Exhaust leaks at a flange connection

• Soot or odor escaping at the joint
• Loss of sealing after flange service or replacement
• Improper sealing at secondary converter or exhaust connector joints

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the flange shape, bolt-hole count, and inside diameter before installation. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly so the graphite-and-metal gasket can seat evenly. Verify the application location, since this gasket is listed for rear, front, left, and universal exhaust positions depending on vehicle and system configuration. For Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima exhaust repairs, match the exact year and notes in the fitment list before ordering.
