AP Exhaust Exhaust Pipe Flange Gasket P/N:9016
Seal exhaust flange joints and keep your exhaust flowing quietly to the tailpipe with the AP Exhaust Exhaust Pipe Flange Gasket (MPN 9279). It fits the 2010-2011 Kia Soul, serving the flanged connections along the exhaust — from the manifold converter to the front pipe, the converter to resonator assembly joint, and the resonator assembly to muffler assembly joint.
An exhaust pipe flange gasket sits between two bolted flanges to seal the joint, containing exhaust gases so they route through the system rather than escaping at the connection.
Signs this gasket may need replacing include a hissing or ticking exhaust noise, a stronger exhaust smell, or a visible leak at a flange joint. Because a leak can also come from cracked pipe or loose fasteners, diagnose the joint before replacing. Replace the gasket any time you separate a flange connection during exhaust service.
What vehicles does this gasket fit?
It fits the 2010-2011 Kia Soul, covering the manifold converter to front pipe, converter to resonator assembly, and resonator assembly to muffler assembly flange joints. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your application.
What does an exhaust pipe flange gasket do?
It seals the joint between two bolted exhaust flanges, helping contain exhaust gases so they flow through the system instead of leaking out at the connection.
How do I know if this gasket has failed?
Common signs are a hissing or ticking exhaust sound, a stronger exhaust odor, or a visible leak at a flange joint. Diagnose the joint first, since cracked pipe or loose bolts can cause similar symptoms.
Should I replace the gasket when I open an exhaust joint?
Yes. It's good practice to install a fresh gasket any time you separate a flange connection during exhaust service to ensure a proper seal.
Are mounting bolts or hardware included?
The listing covers the flange gasket. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
