Victor Reinz Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set for Saab

Victor Reinz 71-35269-00 is an exhaust manifold gasket set built for high-heat sealing demands at the manifold-to-cylinder head interface. It is engineered to meet OE specifications and is listed for Saab 9-5, Saab 9-3, Saab 900, and Saab 9000 applications across model years from 1995 through 2009.

Key Features

• Material blend of fiber and metal for exhaust sealing performance
• One-piece configuration for a direct manifold gasket application
• 10 bolt hole design for the listed Saab fitments
• OE-specification focus for factory-style sealing requirements
• Fits 1999-2009 Saab 9-5, N/A
• Fits 1999-2002 Saab 9-3, N/A
• Fits 1995-1998 Saab 900, N/A
• Fits 1995-1998 Saab 9000, N/A

Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 71-35269-00 is designed for exhaust manifold service where sustained heat and sealing integrity matter. The fiber-and-metal construction supports the sealing surface at the manifold, while the OE-spec approach reflects Victor Reinz’s long history supplying manifold gaskets to original equipment vehicle manufacturers. This part is a strong match for Saab exhaust manifold gasket replacement work on Saab 9-5, Saab 9-3, Saab 900, and Saab 9000 models.

This part cross-references Elring 176.080 and MAHLE MS19459 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Exhaust leaks at the manifold-to-head sealing surface
• Ticking or puffing noises from a leaking manifold gasket
• Loss of exhaust sealing after heat cycling
• Visible soot around the manifold flange area
• Failed gasket service on Saab 9-5, Saab 9-3, Saab 900, or Saab 9000

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine and manifold configuration against the vehicle listing before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, inspect the manifold for warpage or cracks, and follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence and specifications during reassembly. For best sealing results, replace the gasket only after the exhaust flange surfaces are properly prepared.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz exhaust manifold gaskets are produced to OE specifications and backed by the brand’s established original equipment supply experience for exhaust sealing applications.
