Detailed Description

Built by an original equipment supplier, Victor Reinz 71-34790-00 is engineered for exhaust flange sealing where heat cycling and vibration can challenge lesser gaskets. The MLS material helps maintain a stable seal at the pipe-to-manifold or flange connection, making it a practical replacement for vehicles such as the 2013-2018 Ford Focus, 2014-2016 Ford Fiesta, and multiple Mazda 3 and Mazda 5 configurations. This part cross-references Continental 61569 for the same application.

Compatible With 2013-2018 Ford Focus, 2014-2016 Ford Fiesta, 2012-2016 Mazda 5, 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 2012-2013 Mazda 3, 2010-2013 Mazda 3, 2012-2013 Mazda 3 Sport, 2009-2010 Mazda 3 Sport, 2010-2012 Mazda CX-7, 2004-2011 Mazda 3, 2011 Mazda 3 Sport, 2010 Mazda 5, and 2006-2009 Mazda 5 applications listed in the fitment data.

What It Helps Fix

• Exhaust leaks at the flange connection
• Noise from a leaking pipe-to-manifold joint
• Loss of sealing after gasket heat cycling
• Exhaust odor entering the cabin from a failed joint
• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style flange gasket

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the flange style, inside diameter, and bolt-hole layout before installation. This gasket is listed for 2-bolt exhaust connections and 2.500-inch inside diameter applications. Match the vehicle position and notes carefully, especially on Ford Focus front and Mazda rear or pipe-to-manifold applications. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly before assembly to help the gasket seat evenly.
