Subaru 44022AA123 Genuine Exhaust Donut Gasket — for Select Subaru Models

A ticking or puffing noise from the exhaust on cold start, an exhaust smell inside the cabin, or visible soot around the exhaust flange — these are common signs that your exhaust donut gasket needs replacement. This gasket seals the joint between sections of the exhaust system, keeping hot gases inside the pipes and protecting the vehicle from fumes. A worn or damaged gasket can lead to exhaust leaks, engine noise, and potential damage to surrounding components. Replacing it with this genuine Subaru part restores a proper seal and ensures quiet, efficient exhaust flow.

This is a factory-original Subaru exhaust donut gasket (OE part number 44022AA123), designed for use at the flange connections between the exhaust pipes. It is made from high-temperature materials that withstand the extreme heat and vibration of the exhaust system. This is the same part sold at Subaru dealerships.
