Description
Product Overview
Fel-Pro’s metal exhaust gasket is a purpose‑engineered component designed to replace the original equipment seal in a wide range of automotive exhaust systems. Constructed from high‑grade steel, the gasket provides a rigid, corrosion‑resistant barrier that maintains a consistent seal under the extreme temperature fluctuations typical of exhaust environments. The round shape matches the connector geometry of many exhaust pipe assemblies, and the gasket conforms to the exact dimensions of part number 60495, ensuring a direct fit without the need for modifications. With a compact footprint of 6 x 4 x 0.02 inches and a lightweight design of just 0.634 ounces, it integrates seamlessly into the existing exhaust architecture while delivering the strength required for long‑term durability.
Usage
This gasket is intended for use in passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs where the exhaust pipe connector requires a metal seal. It is suitable for both original equipment replacement and aftermarket upgrades, providing a reliable solution for mechanics performing routine maintenance, emissions repairs, or performance modifications. The gasket’s metal construction makes it ideal for high‑heat zones, such as the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter flange, and muffler connections. Whether you are a professional technician in a shop or a DIY hobbyist working in a home garage, the Fel-Pro gasket offers a straightforward installation process that reduces downtime and ensures a secure, leak‑free fit.

FAQ
Is this gasket compatible with all vehicle makes?
The gasket is designed to fit the specifications of part number 60495, which is used by many manufacturers. Verify the part number in your vehicle’s service manual to ensure compatibility.
Can I install the gasket myself?
Yes, the gasket is designed for straightforward installation. Clean the mating surfaces, align the gasket, and torque the fasteners to the manufacturer’s specifications for a secure seal.
What temperature range can the gasket withstand?
The high‑grade steel construction allows the gasket to endure continuous exhaust temperatures up to 1,200°F (650°C) without degradation.
Is the gasket reusable?
For optimal sealing performance, Fel-Pro recommends using a new gasket for each repair. Reusing a gasket can compromise the seal and lead to leaks.
How does this gasket compare to rubber alternatives?
Metal gaskets provide superior heat resistance and structural stability compared to rubber, which can soften or deteriorate under prolonged high‑temperature exposure.
