T4,G2,G3 Exhaust Manifold Gasket (Manifold To Exhaust Downpipe)

This fibre composite exhaust gasket seals the joint between the exhaust manifold and downpipe on a wide range of Volkswagen petrol engines. It is designed to withstand high temperatures and pressure, ensuring a gas-tight seal that prevents exhaust leaks and maintains correct engine performance.

The manifold-to-downpipe connection is a critical sealing point in the exhaust system. A worn or failed gasket can cause blowing noises, reduced engine efficiency, poor emissions, and even incorrect lambda readings on later models. Replacing this gasket restores proper sealing, ensuring exhaust gases flow efficiently through the system while maintaining engine back pressure and performance.

Manufactured from durable fibre composite material, this gasket is designed to compress slightly under torque, filling imperfections between mating surfaces for a reliable long-term seal. Ideal when replacing exhaust components, carrying out manifold work, or fixing exhaust leaks.
