Honda 18212-SB2-961 exhaust gasket

Honda 18212-SB2-961 exhaust gasket – manifold to twin downpipe

Genuine Honda 18212-SB2-961 exhaust gasket used between the exhaust manifold and the twin downpipe – at the point where the 4-cylinder manifold joins into a 4–2 section. It seals the flange connection and prevents exhaust leaks, ticking noises and exhaust smell in the engine bay.

The gasket is made of high-temperature resistant material designed for the harsh conditions of the exhaust system. Using a genuine gasket ensures correct fit to the manifold and downpipe flanges, which is very important on stock and mildly modified exhaust systems.

FAQ – Honda 18212-SB2-961 exhaust gasket

Do I have to replace this gasket every time I disconnect the exhaust?
Yes, it is highly recommended whenever you separate the manifold from the downpipe. After years of heat cycles the old gasket becomes hard and flattened, so reusing it often leads to exhaust leaks.

Does this gasket fit all engines in the listed models?
Not always – exhaust layouts can differ depending on engine and market. The safest way is to confirm the part number by VIN; we can check this for you free of charge before you order.

Can I use a universal exhaust gasket instead?
It might work, but we recommend using the 18212-SB2-961 gasket which matches the flange diameter and shape. This gives better sealing and durability, especially on daily-driven cars.
