Detailed Description

Walker 31589 is made for exhaust flange sealing where heat, vibration, and repeated thermal cycling can weaken an existing gasket. The graphite sealing material helps conform to the flange surface, while the steel core adds structure for a more stable seal at the joint. This makes it a practical choice for exhaust pipe flange repair on vehicles such as the Honda Accord, Acura TL, and Chevrolet S10, where the correct flange gasket is critical to restoring a proper exhaust connection.

This part cross-references Anchor 9018 for the same application. It also interchanges with 256-790 and 256-1060.

Common Repair Uses

• Sealing an exhaust flange after gasket failure
• Reducing exhaust leaks at converter, resonator, or muffler connections
• Restoring a proper seal on a 3-bolt exhaust joint
• Addressing noise or odor caused by a leaking flange connection
• Replacing a worn gasket during exhaust pipe service on Honda Accord, Acura TL, or Chevrolet S10 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the flange pattern, bolt hole spacing, and port dimensions before installation. Walker 31589 uses a 3-bolt layout with 3.375-inch bolt hole center spacing and 0.5-inch bolt holes, so the mating flange must match these dimensions. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly before assembly to help the gasket seat evenly and seal correctly.

For best results, inspect the flange for warping, corrosion, or pitting before reassembly. This gasket is intended for exhaust pipe flange service on the listed applications, including Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and Acura TL fitments where the correct flange seal is required.

Quality Assurance

Walker manufactures exhaust sealing components for use with OE exhaust systems and Walker aftermarket replacement parts. Part number 31589 is built with high temperature graphite and a steel core to support consistent sealing performance in exhaust repair service.
