Construction & Design
These gaskets feature Cometic’s advanced Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction, which consists of multiple layers of high-grade stainless steel. This design provides exceptional durability and the ability to maintain a consistent seal under extreme heat and pressure conditions typical of high-performance V10 engines.
The Armor Clad coating enhances the gasket’s resistance to corrosion and thermal degradation, allowing it to withstand exhaust temperatures up to 2000°F without compromising sealing integrity. The compressible nature of the gasket material ensures a perfect seal even on less-than-perfect mating surfaces, reducing the risk of exhaust leaks and improving overall engine efficiency.
Installation & Fitment
Installation of the Cometic MLS Exhaust Manifold / Header Gaskets is straightforward for experienced mechanics and enthusiasts familiar with exhaust system components. These gaskets are designed to fit precisely on the exhaust ports of the specified Dodge Viper and Dodge Ram SRT10 V10 engines, requiring no modifications for proper sealing.
It is recommended to clean the mating surfaces thoroughly before installation to ensure optimal gasket performance. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid over-compression or damage to the gasket layers.
What's Included
- One pair of Cometic MLS Exhaust Manifold / Header Gaskets (sufficient for one bank)
Ideal For
This gasket set is perfect for Dodge Viper and Dodge Ram SRT10 owners seeking a reliable, high-quality replacement or upgrade for their exhaust manifold or header gaskets.
