Description of Remflex 8006 Universal Exhaust πŸ”’ Gasket: Ultimate Sealing Solution for All Vehicles

3" Pipe; Universal 3" Pipe Flange, 2 Bolt Holes, 4-1/8" Bolt Hole Spacing, 1 (each). Heating and cooling of the exhaust system causes header and manifold flanges to warp resulting in gaps between the head and header which Remflex exhaust gaskets seal completely due to the thickness and compressibility of the 100 percent flexible graphite. Remflex exhaust gaskets come in a standard 1/8 inch thickness and are designed to crush 50 percent allowing them to fill any pits or gaps in the flange surface up to 1/16 inch. The aluminum cylinder head and steel header or manifold combination are configurations that readily cause gap issues in the mating flanges due to contraction and expansion of the dissimilar materials; Remflex exhaust gaskets fill those gaps permanently. There are no rubber binders or composite materials in Remflex exhaust gaskets so they will not shrink or harden due to time or temperature eliminating the need to go back and continually retighten your flange bolts.

Excellent Seal: Seals

Solid Seal; You can tell I don't have to worry about leaks as this is compressible. Perfect fit for my 2015 WRX (Invidia R400)

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Upgrades

Fixed faulty seal

Fixed faulty seal in my Invidia Q300. It was out of service for a while so the flanges weren't quite clean, but then it was airtight.

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Reliability

The best pads, period.

The best there is. Contrary to many myths, Remflex gaskets don't require you to use extra long bolts/screws, just take your time, follow the instructions and progressively tighten.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Thick and well made.

Definitely worth the price. It's thick and flexible, preventing exhaust leaks and lasting much longer than any flimsy gasket. Buy more of these in the future if needed.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • shaky

Excellent until the exhaust exploded

Worked great on my 500whp Civic for 2 weeks. Blown away after a hard day at the track and pushed 22psi all day. Good seal and worked well, fitted onto the downspout and plugged the leak until it burst.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

These are the ones you need, look no further.

These are 'go to' exhaust gaskets, just be careful not to bend or break them. One day they will be better than your traditional exhaust pads. Great if your exhaust flanges are slightly deformed.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Alright

Ideal for the right application.

They are great for use in post turbo cat posts. I have a WRX and they have been popular for a while as many WRX owners use aftermarket flat flange downpipes with stock or aftermarket mufflers that have a bent flange designed for o-rings. They can be used to seal these two types of flanges without purchasing an adapter. However, they are soft and brittle, so they can only be used for a round or two of downspout installation before you need to replace them. Also, some people buy Remflex gaskets…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Good but not great
