Over time, factory gaskets compress, harden, and degrade due to thousands of extreme heat cycles. Reusing an old gasket during exhaust maintenance or aftermarket header installation often leads to power-robbing exhaust leaks, poor idle, and severe popping on deceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThis premium replacement gasket is manufactured from high-temperature copper and composite materials built to withstand intense exhaust heat and vibration. Engineered as a crush-to-seal component, it physically compresses as you torque the header bolts, conforming perfectly to the micro-imperfections on both the cylinder head and the exhaust flange to ensure a permanent, airtight seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHigh-Temperature Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Manufactured from a blend of copper and heat-resistant fibrous materials capable of withstanding extreme exhaust temperatures without failing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCrush-to-Seal Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered to compress upon installation, filling microscopic gaps between the exhaust flange and engine block for a perfect seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDirect OEM Replacement:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer specifications for exact sizing and reliable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePrevents Exhaust Leaks:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates the lean running conditions, backfiring, and decel-popping associated with a leaking header pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2000–2024 – Suzuki DR400S\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2005–2024 – Suzuki DRZ400SM\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2003–2004 – Kawasaki KLX400\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eFitment Notes:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModel Verification:\u003c\/b\u003e Please verify your specific motorcycle's year, make, and model or cross-reference your factory OEM part number before purchasing to ensure proper sizing.
