hey guys i just got a jdm rear exhaust and was wondering what would be the best gasket stuff to use to seal the 2 bolt flange as i dont have a vibrant gasket nor want to wait for it i no the color is usually like a redish orange of most stuff but i forget what its called just want someone to chime in here and help out thanks guys!

 

You can use muffler paste. It is grey in color and prob avail at any parts store

 

I'd use a gasket, don't use silicon or it will be an effin batch to remove when you take it apart (to do it right) and use a gasket.

 

im just looking for something temporary just so i can mock the exhaust up for now to weld the hangers on and seal it for a little bit then remove the material after which i dont really mind doing

 

I use Permatex Ultra Grey. It can be found at autozone or Napa. I use it for the turbo > downpipe, wastegate, and misc flanges. Also on the projectors at work!

 

I've used the rtv sealant but I also have a way better one made by the same company except it foams to the shape so it works real nice. When I get home I'll get the name for you. It also is avail at autozone and it's ina black pressurized can.

 

Does anyone know if they sell it at advance auto cuz there aren't any autozones really down here?

There you go bud.

 

^ thank you sir

 

Your probably looking for the Permatex Copper Gasket maker.

I would seriously get something like this:

I have something similar to it and I have switched downpipes many times, and been re-using the same gasket and its still holding a tight seal.

 

I use the copper spray on all of my exhaust gaskets. You can find at Kragen/Checker/Oriellys in the sealant section. Great stuff. Follow the directions on the can!

 

Ditto, but he wants to use no gasket.

Don't use gray. As BluEVOIX said, the Orange Copper Silicone is the best for this. You will need to wait for it to dry before driving though.

I will 2nd that. Only the orange silicone is rated for the type of temperatures that your exhaust will see. Gray is definitely not high-temp, just sensor-safe.

 

thanks guys just picked up some orange copper silicone, gonna try it out tomorrow once i get the exhuast welded up and in

 

Yea, the orange RTV is for super high temp stuff. I use it WITH an exhaust gasket on my system to make sure it seals.
