Detailed Product Description

This Walker exhaust pipe flange gasket (part number 31503) is specifically designed for use with Mercury Marauder and Marquis models. The gasket’s donut shape allows it to fit securely between exhaust pipe flanges, preventing exhaust leaks and maintaining system integrity. Its fiber composition combined with a steel core provides a balance of flexibility and durability, accommodating thermal expansion and vibration without compromising the seal.

With an inside diameter of 2.125 inches and an outside diameter of 2.750 inches, this gasket fits precisely within the exhaust flange assembly. The 0.78-inch thickness contributes to a tight seal, reducing the risk of exhaust gas escape and noise.
