OVERTAKE Exhaust Manifold to Head Gasket Set - Subaru EZ30 / EZ36 Engines
The OVERTAKE Exhaust Manifold to Head Gasket seals the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head on the H6 Subaru using multi-layer steel construction with a stainless steel fire ring. If you run an EZ30 or EZ36, you have probably found out that Subaru no longer sells this gasket, and the budget aftermarket versions that filled the gap do not hold up. The original OEM gasket sat in a hot, high-pressure spot and did its job, but Subaru discontinued it (44011AG040). What is left on the shelf is mostly thin, stamped material that is not fully stainless, which is where the dreaded waffle-gasket blowout comes from. The OVERTAKE Exhaust Manifold to Head Gasket is built for the Subaru H6 the way this joint should be sealed, covering the 2004-2009 Outback through the later Legacy and Tribeca. Multi-layer steel, a stainless fire ring, real thickness, and it comes as a pair so both heads get done at once. WHAT WE SOLVED: With the OEM part gone and the cheap stuff failing, this is the gasket that actually seals and stays sealed: Direct OEM replacement, no longer available new Full stainless multi-layer build No more waffle-gasket blowouts Survives real heat cycling and pressure Sold as a pair for both heads FEATURES: Multi-layer steel construction with a stainless steel fire ring at the combustion seal 22% thicker than the original OEM gasket for a more durable, longer-lasting seal Fully stainless build where many aftermarket gaskets use thinner, non-stainless material and fail early Engineered specifically for the Subaru H6 exhaust system for a reliable, leak-free fit Sold as a pair to seal both cylinder heads Direct replacement for the discontinued OEM Subaru gasket 44011AG040 THE DETAILS: The exhaust manifold gasket on the H6 Subaru sits in one of the hottest, highest-pressure spots on the engine. Subaru no longer supplies the original, and the aftermarket options that stepped in are mostly thin stamped gaskets that are not fully stainless, which is exactly where the waffle-gasket blowout comes from. The OVERTAKE gasket is built the way this joint should be sealed, with multiple layers of steel and a stainless fire ring around the port, running 22% thicker so it holds clamping load and takes the pressure a tuned car makes. It drops in as a direct replacement for the discontinued OEM part 44011AG040 with no modification, and it comes as a pair so both heads get done in one job. It also carries over to H6 swap builds, where a gasket that can take abuse matters even more.
