Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Walker Exhaust 31540: High-Quality Exhaust Pipe Flange Gasket for Optimal Performance by Jason Lockwood

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Non-OEM quality - missing exhaust port metal braiding

Product: Walker Exhaust Pipe 31540 Exhaust Pipe Flange Gasket This is a Walker part - popular for its low price but typically for inexpensive repairs with a relatively short service life. In this case, the inner metal shell of the part's exhaust port is not exposed to the flow of exhaust gases, leaving sealing and heat resistance to the softer, less durable fibrous gasket material. The low price is partly due to the ease of making the stamp without a subsequent metal forming step to wrap the metal layer around the inside edge of the hole. Works on first install and can be sourced quickly from Revain but don't expect the OEM to last long. Works and fits many vehicles but appreciate the savings versus the cost of the rest of the repair/installation.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine
