Product Description
The GM 97192618 Exhaust Up-Pipe to Turbo Gasket is the OEM sealing gasket designed to connect the exhaust up-pipe to the turbocharger on 2001–2016 GM 6.6L Duramax diesel engines. This factory GM gasket ensures a tight exhaust seal between the up-pipe and turbo inlet, helping prevent exhaust leaks, boost loss, and reduced turbo efficiency.
When replacing turbochargers, up-pipes, or performing engine service, installing a new OEM GM turbo gasket ensures proper sealing and long-term reliability. The GM 97192618 gasket is built to withstand the high temperatures and pressure generated in the Duramax exhaust system.
