1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse/Talon Exhaust Header Gasket — Aluminum
Aluminum gasket engineered to seal the header-to-manifold joint on 2G Eclipse and Talon platforms. This is your sealing point between the exhaust header flange and the cylinder head — the barrier that keeps combustion gases contained and prevents leaks. Built from aluminum for durability against heat cycling and exhaust pressure.
Key Features
- Heat-resistant aluminum body - Withstands sustained exhaust temperatures without warping or degrading.
- Precision flange design - Matches factory header bolt hole spacing for direct fit alignment.
- Reusable gasket material - Aluminum core won't crumble under thermal stress like composite gaskets can.
Specs
- Material: Aluminum
- Condition: New
What's Included
- Exhaust header gasket — aluminum
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need new fasteners to install this gasket?
Header bolts are reusable if they're in good condition. Check yours for stripped threads or corrosion before assembly — if the bolt holes are damaged, you'll want fresh hardware to avoid leaks.
Should I apply sealant to the gasket before bolting it down?
Aluminum gaskets seal through compression at the flange joint — additional sealant is not required and can actually create mess during disassembly later. Clean both surfaces with a wire brush or gasket scraper, install dry, then torque bolts evenly.
Can I reuse the gasket if I remove the header again?
One installation cycle is the safe limit. Once compressed and heat-cycled, aluminum gaskets lose their seal integrity. Use a fresh gasket if you pull the header a second time.
