Exhaust Sealing.
Re-fitted my exhaust today, however on the r/h side theres a 3-5mm gap which is leaking a bit of air at the bottom.

What would you suggest using to seal it? I've tried Hylmoar Blue but it didn't really work.
Thanks in advance, Phil.

Re: Exhaust Sealing.
Some silicone sealent like this.
Black is probably less conspicuous.

Re: Exhaust Sealing.
Would you not want heat resistant silicone ?

Re: Exhaust Sealing.
Local garage lent me a tube of Granville high temp silicone in black. I'll give it a go tomorrow. Thanks.

Re: Exhaust Sealing.
Silicone is all the same, put many an exhaust together with generic bathroom silicone. Never had a problem either (some have been on / apart in over 10 years)
