Product Description
Product Description
Exhaust Header Gasket — Aluminum
Aluminum gasket engineered for exhaust header sealing on classic VW applications. Prevents exhaust leaks at the header-to-manifold interface where factory gaskets fail under heat cycling. Aluminum construction resists thermal warping better than traditional materials.
Key Features
- Aluminum core - Resists thermal degradation better than composite gaskets under repeated heat cycles
- Factory bolt pattern compatibility - Seats directly on existing header and manifold mounting points with no modification
- Thermal cycling durability - Maintains seal integrity through temperature swings common to performance driving
Specs
- Material: Aluminum
- Configuration: Single gasket
- Condition: New
Whats Included
- One exhaust header gasket
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to prep the header and manifold surfaces before installing this gasket?
Clean both mating surfaces with a wire brush to remove carbon buildup and old gasket material. A clean, flat surface improves sealing. You don't need to sand or prime — just scrape it bare.
Can I reuse the original bolts, or do I need new ones?
Reuse is fine if the bolts are straight and threads are clean. If any bolts spun or won't torque consistently, replace them. Refer to your service manual for the correct torque spec.
What's the warranty if this gasket leaks after installation?
Contact ModSupply directly with photos of the leak and your receipt. We'll review the installation and determine next steps — whether it's a replacement or a refund.
