Detailed Description

This Walker exhaust pipe flange gasket, part number 31545, is made for exhaust system service where the flange connection must seal cleanly under heat and vibration. The fiber material with a steel core helps maintain gasket integrity at the joint, while the 3-bolt layout and listed port dimensions support a precise fit at the exhaust flange. Walker 31545 is a practical choice for repairs involving the Y-pipe to converter connection on 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1988-1992 Ford Ranger, 1988-1990 Ford Bronco II, 1991-1992 Mazda Navajo, and 1993-1994 Ford Ranger and Mazda Navajo applications.

This part cross-references Anchor 9263 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Exhaust leaks at a 3-bolt flange connection
• Noise from a worn or damaged gasket at the Y-pipe to converter joint
• Loss of sealing after exhaust service or component replacement
• Fitment issues when replacing a deteriorated flange gasket on select Ford Ranger and Ford Explorer applications
• Sealing problems on compatible Mazda Navajo and Ford Bronco II exhaust connections

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm flange bolt spacing, bolt hole diameter, and port dimensions before installation. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly so the gasket can seat evenly, and inspect the flange for warping, corrosion, or damage that could affect sealing. This part is listed for Y-pipe to converter positions on select vehicles and for N/A positions on others, so verify the exact exhaust joint before ordering.
