Detailed Product Description

The Walker 31658 gasket features a donut design that fits securely between exhaust pipe flanges to prevent leaks and maintain exhaust system integrity. Its 2.75-inch inside diameter and 3.375-inch outside diameter accommodate specific exhaust pipe sizes commonly found in Ford Explorer and Mazda MX-5 Miata models, among others. The 0.516-inch thickness provides a robust barrier against exhaust gases.

Manufactured from high temperature graphite combined with a wire mesh core, this gasket withstands extreme heat and pressure, reducing the risk of gasket failure and exhaust leaks. This material composition also helps maintain a tight seal over time, even with thermal expansion and contraction during engine operation.
