Exhaust Gaskets UK – Manufactured by Specialists with 60+ Years of Experience
For decades, exhaust gaskets have been at the heart of what we do. At Stephens Gaskets, we manufacture precision-cut exhaust gaskets for the automotive, motorsport, industrial and aerospace sectors.
Today, we combine that heritage with the latest laser-cutting, press-tooling and composite-fabrication technology to deliver exhaust gaskets that perform under the toughest temperatures, pressures and vibration loads.
What Exhaust Gaskets Do – and Why Precision Matters
An exhaust gasket is more than a sealing component – it’s a safety device.
In 2025, that requirement is stricter than ever.
Modern engines demand components with:
- High temperature stability.
- Reliable sealing under vibration.
- Compatibility across metals.
- Zero deformation under pressure.
- Repeatable accuracy in batch production.
A poorly manufactured exhaust gasket can cause hot gas leaks, noise issues, MOT failures, emissions problems, and in severe cases, health risks.
This is why engineers turn to professional, certified UK manufacturing instead of low-grade imported parts.
Our Exhaust Gasket Materials
We now manufacture exhaust gaskets in:
1. Multi-Layer Steel (MLS)
- Perfect for high-performance, turbocharged and modern engines.
- Withstands extreme cycling and maintains uniform sealing pressure.
2. Copper Exhaust Gaskets
- Excellent thermal conductivity.
- Fully annealable. Popular in motorsport and custom engine builds.
3. Graphite & Graphite Composite
Ideal for imperfect or warped surfaces. Provides flexible sealing and vibration absorption.
4. Klinger & Novus Composites
Chemical-resistant, durable and suitable for a wide variety of industrial exhaust systems.
5. Rubber & Neoprene (for low-temperature applications)
Flexible, reliable and cost-effective for non-combustion exhaust systems.
6. Cork-Rubber Blends
Used for older engines and vintage restorations requiring compressibility.
All materials are quality-checked in-house to ensure flatness, surface integrity and correct compression characteristics.

FAQs
1. Where can I buy high-quality exhaust gaskets in the UK?
You can buy directly from Stephens Gaskets, the UK’s long-established exhaust gasket manufacturer. We supply custom and standard gaskets with fast UK dispatch and global delivery.
2. Can Stephens Gaskets make custom exhaust gaskets from drawings?
Yes. We produce bespoke exhaust gaskets from CAD files, sketches or physical samples. Our laser-cutting capability ensures accurate reproduction for one-off or repeat batches.
3. What is the best material for a high-temperature exhaust gasket?
For turbocharged, performance or industrial exhaust systems, multi-layer steel (MLS) or annealed copper provide superior heat and pressure resistance.
4. Do you offer discounted pricing for trade or OEM quantities?
Yes. We supply automotive manufacturers, engine builders and distributors with structured trade pricing and scheduled delivery contracts.
5. How quickly can I receive UK-made exhaust gaskets?
Standard parts can be dispatched within 24-48 hours, and custom gaskets typically ship in 3-5 working days, depending on complexity.
