We
are now a dealer for the line of Remflex Performance gaskets. We use
these on our own GN and they work great. Currently carrying header
gaskets for stock and Stage 2 motors, 3 bolt turbo flange gaskets and
external wastegate downpipe to turbo gaskets.
• Seals Warped Flanges:
Remflex
exhaust gaskets come in a standard 1/8-inch thickness and are designed to
crush 50%. This allows them to fill gaps in the flange surface up to
1/16-inch!
• Won’t Burn Out:
100% flexible graphite
construction means Remflex gaskets are good for up to 3,000 degrees
F—far exceeding that of any vehicle’s exhaust system temperature! 
• No Re-Torquing
Necessary:
Remflex exhaust gaskets
rebound 30%, creating an optimum seal that eliminates the need to
re-torque!
Remflex’s
unique flexible graphite material has been proven for more than 30 years
in industrial applications, where temperatures routinely exceed 2,000
degrees—day after day, week after week, year after year. Now, we’re
bringing this technology to enthusiasts of all kinds to eliminate exhaust
leaks for good! Whether you have an old pick-up that needs a manifold
gasket, or a race car with custom-built headers, you can be assured that
Remflex exhaust gaskets will work properly the first time, every time.
The
Science
Remflex
gaskets work because they solve the two main problems associated with
sealing an exhaust flange: Warping, and gasket failure.
Warped
Reality
A
common misconception is that, if you spend a lot of money for high-quality
headers with thick flanges, leaks will not be an issue. In truth, a
thicker flange does help, but it can’t solve the problem of warping
altogether. Constant thermal cycling, especially in high performance
and/or high-load environments, causes warping of header flanges and cast
iron exhaust manifolds--even the exhaust flange of the cylinder head
itself.
Once
the sealing surface is warped, leaks are imminent—and once there is a
leak, pitting of the exhaust port sealing surface usually follows. A new
set of average gaskets won’t fix the problem—but Remflex gaskets, with
a 50% crush built in—can seal gaps as large as 1/16-inch. And unlike
traditional gaskets, they won’t shrink, so they never require re-torquing.
If
you can’t take the heat…
Curiously,
the number one cause of exhaust gasket failure is heat—the very thing
exhaust gaskets are supposed to withstand. That’s because traditional
exhaust gaskets are made of composite materials—blends of natural fibers
and synthetic compounds that are bound together using rubber. Simply put,
it’s only a matter of time until the extreme temperature in the
vehicle’s exhaust system burns the gasket’s composite materials away,
resulting in an exhaust leak.
You’ve
no doubt experienced the pungent odor that arises from the engine
compartment after you install a new set of the top-brand exhaust gaskets.
That’s the smell of the rubber binders in the composite materials that
begin to burn out almost immediately. And once the rubber overheats, it
begins to shrink, as well has harden. That’s why you are instructed to
re-torque the gaskets regularly, and why an exhaust leak will develop if
you don’t. Remflex exhaust gaskets are made from 100% flexible graphite
and can withstand up to 3,000 degrees F—so they are not affected by
exhaust system, and won’t burn out, shrink, or leak. Not now, not ever!
