Mr. Gasket Performance Group

What Mr. Gasket Performance Group does

Mr. Gasket Performance Group is an aftermarket automotive parts sub-brand operated under Holley Performance Products, Inc., focused on OEM-replacement ignition components. The brand's product line consists of spark plug wire sets, ignition coils, and spark plug boots, positioned as direct-fit replacements for original equipment at price points below dealership alternatives. Spark plug wire sets are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, signaling a quality-assurance posture aimed at both DIY consumers and professional installers.

The brand does not operate as an independent go-to-market entity. Distribution is executed through Holley Performance Products' e-commerce platform and its established dealer network, providing Mr. Gasket Performance Group with access to a broad aftermarket channel without standalone sales infrastructure. End customers include automotive enthusiasts, performance vehicle owners, general vehicle operators seeking OE-grade replacements, and professional service technicians who specify ignition components during repair work. The underlying technology is conventional resistive and inductive ignition hardware rather than electronics or software-defined systems.

The business model is a classic branded-aftermarket hardware sale: unit-volume revenue on low-ticket SKUs, channel leverage through the Holley parent, and brand-based differentiation supported by warranty and OE heritage. With a disclosed headcount of approximately 15 employees, the sub-brand operates as a focused product line within a larger multi-brand performance aftermarket portfolio rather than as a standalone enterprise.

Core offering

Mr. Gasket Performance Group, primarily through its ProConnect sub-brand, manufactures and sells OEM-quality replacement ignition components for the automotive aftermarket. Its core product lines include OEM replacement spark plug wire sets, ignition coils (coil-on-plug and coil-near-plug configurations), and precision-engineered spark plug boots designed as direct form-and-fit replacements for original equipment parts. Products are sold directly to consumers and through a dealer network under the Holley Performance Products parent company.

Product overview

ProConnect is a sub-brand under Mr. Gasket Performance Group (a Holley Performance Brands company) offering OEM-quality ignition replacement components. The product portfolio consists of three core product lines: OEM Replacement Spark Plug Wire Sets (featuring click-design connectors and EMI/RFI suppression), Ignition Coils (including coil-on-plug and coil-near-plug variants with OBD II compatibility), and Spark Plug Boots (with patented positioning technology). ProConnect products are positioned as direct form-and-fit OE replacements that often exceed original equipment specifications, frequently at lower cost than OE parts. The brand was built on nearly a century of manufacturing expertise, with most products manufactured using the same processes as original equipment wires.
