Exhaust Flange

The exhaust flange is a pair of metal sections that link the exhaust pipe together. This component is important because it connects and seals many points of the exhaust system.

Exhaust flange function

The exhaust flange functions by utilizing a gasket as well as a set of bolts to connect them. When assembling an exhaust or waste gate pipe it is recommended that the user makes use of the exhaust flange for ease of fitment. To use the exhaust flange without a gasket, it is necessary to utilize automotive-grade silicon. Flange joints can be found between the exhaust manifold and the header pipe, but many of today's vehicles utilize the connection to link other exhaust system components.

Common problems with a faulty exhaust flange

A faulty exhaust flange can wear out due to being subjected to intense heat, leaking can occur, and it can rust over time.
