The exhaust manifold gasket facilitates the engine's breathing. The engine is a sizable air pump, and the better it can draw in and release air, the better the automobile will travel. You'll typically hear a "spitting" sound from the engine compartment if your exhaust manifold leaks, especially when the engine is working hard when accelerating rapidly or ascending a hill. Your engine loses power when there are leaks because they lower the exhaust stream's velocity.

The post-combustion gases from several cylinders are gathered by the exhaust manifold and sent into the exhaust pipe. An exhaust manifold gasket seals the assembly; links to the cylinder head. The manifold's shape and the gasket's seal help in exhaust scavenging, in which gas leaving the cylinder creates a vacuum that draws in additional air/gas mixture. Extreme heat, oil contamination of the coolant, and the continuous flow of exhaust gas will wear down the gasket to the point where leaks between the cylinder head and manifold start to appear.
