OEM Vehicle Intake Gaskets

If it weren't for your intake gasket, your intake manifold wouldn't seal properly to your vehicle's engine. Without it, your car, SUV, van, or pickup wouldn't run right.

What Intake Gaskets Do

As air passes through the engine air filter, a throttle body manages the airflow's speed. After the air passes through the throttle body, it enters the intake manifold that's bolted to the cylinder head. The air routes through passageways in the engine, winding up in the cylinder where it mixes with fuel to feed combustion.
