sealing exhaust

[sixpack]

I want to reinstall my TORS exhaust and want to insure no leaks, I read somewhere that putting a RV sealent on the joints would help do this .. so, what kind of sealentand ( muffler cement??) how do you apply it. any comment greatly appreciated .

Use Selleys 401 it works good for me and recommended by my dealer

Hanso, I can get a similar product here, ,how exactly does one apply this stuff?? ie- before you attach the pipes or after you tighten the clamps?? or any other method

Put it on the before mating the two pipes, cleanup what ever is visible. Must set for 24 hours before running the bike. It is what is recommended by Jardine Exhaust.

so have I!!!! I bought when I first got the staintunes with Stock header I used it but did not like the copper color where it came out of the connections, happen to ask the mechanic what they used on the Stock headers when they replaced my faulty headgasket as I noticed it was clear they put me on to the selleys 401

Hmmm sounds like good stuff I'll write it down in my book of knowledge for future reference cheers

Definitely get the copper infused stuff and let it set up for 24 hours before starting the bike or you will blow it out the exhaust.
