Exhaust Gasket and Exhaust Clamp

The exhaust gasket (or ‘donut gasket’) is a metal ring that seals the gap between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold. The exhaust clamp locks different parts of your exhaust pipe together. This prevents leaks and helps ensure the safe passage of harmful gases into the air outside. Exhaust clamps usually take the form of a U-clamp. However some manufacturers also use V-band, lap joint, hanger and narrow band-style exhaust clamps. Exposure to extreme temperature changes can cause clamps and gaskets to wear with age. This in turn can result in gas leaks and may affect your health and that of your passengers. The most common sign of a failing exhaust gasket or clamp is a rattling exhaust pipe.
