Catalytic Converter Gasket

The catalytic converter gasket helps to provide an air-tight seal for the inlet and outlet of the catalytic converter. Some vehicles have the converter welded onto the exhaust pipe and do not require this part. However, for bolt-on converters, the gaskets can wear out over time. This can cause an exhaust leak and may result in noise, poor gas mileage, vibration, loss of power, or the smell of gas. If you suspect an exhaust leak, it is important to have it repaired right away, as the fumes contain carbon monoxide and can be dangerous.
