Re: Exhaust Sealant?
I used holts firegum, which is a tad pricey, but good, good stuff.
However, be sure to wipe any excess of straight away, else itl stick solid to your link pipe and take weeks to get off |

Re: Exhaust Sealant?

Re: Exhaust Sealant?
possibly for a short time but wouldn't last to long under the conditions an exhaust goes through.

Re: Exhaust Sealant?
I had B&Q silicon sealant on mine for 6 months. Took it off the other day to put the original exhaust back on for the MOT and it seemed OK, no ill effects, and a bit of rubbing took the old sealant off. A bit blacker but none the worse for wears.

Re: Exhaust Sealant?
Silicone RTV sealant is longer lasting, you can get it from decent motor factors.
