Exhaust gaskets are crucial to ensure a tight connection between the exhaust components. They prevent exhaust gases from escaping from the exhaust system and thus ensure optimum performance and a lower noise level. A leaking exhaust gasket can lead to loss of power, increased fuel consumption and potential damage to the engine. It is important to regularly check the condition of the gaskets and replace them if necessary. High-quality materials such as graphite or metal are often used to ensure a long service life and high temperature resistance.
