1. Product Description
The KRAFT Exhaust pipe gasket (0522000) is an original-equipment specification exhaust sealing component manufactured by KRAFT Automotive. Engineered to withstand high operational temperatures and harsh corrosive combustion gases, this gasket is typically positioned at the exhaust manifold outlet flange or the front exhaust downpipe connection. Its primary design function is to establish a gas-tight seal at high-vibration exhaust mating points, completely preventing raw exhaust gas leaks, maintaining precise backpressure alignment, and isolating noise emissions from the cabin assembly.
