BMW Exhaust Flange Gasket - Reinz 18111245500

Product Information

An exhaust pipe flange gasket is a sealing component placed between two sections of the exhaust system, typically where pipes or flanges are bolted together. It prevents exhaust gas leaks, reduces noise, and helps maintain proper backpressure for engine efficiency. Made from heat-resistant materials like graphite or metal composites, the gasket ensures a secure, long-lasting seal under extreme temperatures and vibrations.

• Loud exhaust noise, especially near the flange connection.
• Visible exhaust leaks or soot marks around the gasket area.
• Reduced engine performance or fuel efficiency, due to loss of proper exhaust flow.

About Reinz

Founded by Hugo Reinz in 1920, Reinz has been known for the manufacturing of Automotive gaskets for over 90 years. For almost a century Reinz has provided gaskets and sealing products for both auto manufacturers and as an aftermarket solution for car enthusiasts. Their full catalog features over 15,000 different products, providing a great selection for excellent value. Way back in 1962 Reinz became the (OEM) original equipment manufacturer for the prestigious Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen car companies, a strong partnership that still continues to this day. The company continues to innovate and stay well ahead of the curve. For example, Reinz stopped using asbestos in their gaskets 12 years before it was banned in Germany in 1993. Reinz performs because every part they manufacture meets OEM standards – meaning you're getting great value that you can believe in. Many brands and models use sealing solutions from Reinz. In 1993 Reinx became a partner to the American company, Dana, to form the largest manufactures of components for automobile and commercial vehicles. The Gasket segment of Dana was Victor at the time ahich was then merged with Reinz to form the brand name of "Victor Reinz".
