Exhaust manifold flanges are critical components in a motorcycle's exhaust system, securely attaching the manifold to the cylinder head and ensuring a tight seal. They are essential for efficiently dissipating exhaust gases and optimizing engine performance.
Made of heat-resistant materials such as steel or stainless steel, exhaust manifold flanges can withstand the extreme temperatures and stresses of hot exhaust gases.
A damaged or leaking manifold flange can lead to performance problems and increased fuel consumption, as the exhaust gas seal is compromised.
Therefore, manifold flanges should be regularly checked for wear and replaced if necessary to ensure optimal functioning of the exhaust system.
A good seal of the manifold flanges is important to avoid loss of power and possible engine damage.
