Remflex Performance Promise
• 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!
About Remflex
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!
