Exhaust Sealing.

Post by Phil_Norwich »

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.

Would you not want heat resistant silicone ?

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

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)
