Product Overview
The Fel-Pro 61236 exhaust pipe connector gasket is a precision‑engineered component designed to restore the integrity of your vehicle’s exhaust system. Constructed from a proprietary blend of high‑temperature resistant fibers and silicone, the gasket delivers a durable, flexible seal that can withstand the extreme thermal cycles typical of exhaust operation. Measuring 6 x 4 inches with a thickness of 0.02 inches, the round, blue‑silver design matches the original equipment specifications for a seamless fit. Each unit weighs only 0.64 ounces, making it easy to handle while providing the strength needed for a long‑lasting seal.
Usage
This gasket is intended for use on any vehicle that requires a round exhaust pipe connector replacement, including passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs.

Install the gasket between the exhaust pipe and the manifold or pipe flange, ensuring the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris. The gasket’s flexible composition conforms to minor surface irregularities, creating a leak‑free seal that reduces exhaust noise and emissions.
