Automotive repair often hinges on a tiny flange gasket keeping exhaust gases where they belong. Generic Car Exhaust Gasket aims to restore a proper seal for 2.5-inch flanges, quietening noise and reducing leaks. Will the supplied dimensions and materials match your vehicle's flange?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Sealing Performance: Graphite composite fills micro-gaps while plated iron resists abrasion for a tight exhaust seal
- • Best for: Owners needing a 2.5-inch flange replacement, including users reporting Ford Ranger compatibility
- • Not ideal for: Exhaust flanges requiring bolt hardware larger than 12mm or non-standard bolt patterns
Gasket measures 5.67 inches by 3.46 inches with a 2.5-inch inner diameter. Plated iron and graphite composite construction resists high temperature and pressure.
Effective Exhaust Sealing – With plated iron and graphite composite
Graphite composite material compresses to fill microscopic irregularities while plated iron gives structural support and abrasion resistance. Bolt holes align with flange studs to create a uniform compression surface.
Reliable sealing reduces exhaust leakage and associated noise. Owners should notice a quieter exhaust flange and fewer fumes escaping at the joint.
High Temperature and Pressure Resistance – Thanks to composite structural material
Plated iron combined with graphite withstands the thermal cycles and backpressure common at manifold and flange connections. Material resists abrasion to maintain integrity under repeated heating.
Seal integrity holds under routine engine temperatures and pressure fluctuations. Long-lasting performance helps avoid premature gasket failure during normal use.
Quick, straightforward fit – With simple 2-bolt design and OEM-referenced dimensions
Flat 2-bolt layout with hole centres specified between 3.78 inches and 4.57 inches matches many factory flanges. Inner diameter is 2.5 inches and overall plate size is 5.67 by 3.46 inches.
Fast replacement using existing flange studs and nuts avoids modifications. A quick swap gets the exhaust sealed and roadworthy again with minimal workshop time.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Generic Car Exhaust Gasket
- OEM-fit dimensions – Matches factory flanges to reduce leaks and refitting
- High-temp composite – Resists heat and pressure for consistent performance over time
- Optimised exhaust flow – Helps maintain engine efficiency and power during normal driving
- Simple bolt-on fit – Install quickly using existing flange bolts without modification

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this gasket fit a Ford Ranger?
A: Users report a compatible fit for Ford Ranger models; the gasket dimensions and bolt-hole centres are provided so buyers can confirm flange measurements before fitting.
Q: What is the gasket made from and how durable is it?
A: Plated iron with a graphite composite layer, offering resistance to high temperature, pressure and abrasion for reliable sealing at the flange.
Q: How is the gasket installed?
A: Place the gasket on the flange, align the inner and bolt holes, then slowly tighten the nuts to achieve a uniform seal; the hole spacing suits bolts smaller than 12mm.
