Walker 31595 Exhaust Pipe Flange Gasket

Walker 31595 is an exhaust pipe flange gasket built for a 3-bolt exhaust connection. It uses high temperature graphite with a steel core to help maintain a tight seal at the flange, where heat and vibration can challenge exhaust joints. This gasket is a direct-fit style replacement for select Kia, Mazda, and Ford applications.

Key Features

• 3-bolt exhaust pipe flange gasket for sealed exhaust connections
• High temperature graphite with steel core for heat resistance and structural support
• 0.051 in. thickness for a precise flange seal
• 3.0 in. bolt hole center-to-center spacing
• 2.125 in. x 2.125 in. port opening dimensions
• Designed to work with OE exhaust components and Walker aftermarket replacement parts

Product Details

Walker 31595 is engineered for exhaust repair applications where the flange joint needs a reliable sealing surface. The graphite sealing material helps conform to the mating surfaces, while the steel core adds stability under exhaust heat cycles. This makes it a practical choice for service work on vehicles such as the Mazda Protege, Mazda 626, and Kia Spectra when replacing a worn exhaust flange gasket. This part number, 31595, is also referenced in aftermarket interchange listings for select exhaust repair applications.

This part cross-references BRExhaust 256-225 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Exhaust leaks at a 3-bolt flange connection
• Noise from a failing gasket at the pipe joint
• Soot marks or odor near the exhaust flange
• Loss of seal after heat cycling and vibration
• Service replacement on select Mazda Protege and Kia Spectra exhaust repairs

Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm the flange uses a 3-bolt pattern before installation.
• Match the bolt hole center spacing and port dimensions to the existing exhaust joint.
• Inspect flange faces for warping, corrosion, or pitting before installing the new gasket.
• Clean mating surfaces thoroughly so the gasket can seat evenly.
• Verify vehicle-specific fitment for applications such as Fits 1995-2003 Mazda Protege, N/A and Fits 2000-2004 Kia Spectra, N/A.
