Neil-NA Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I need to re-fix a leaky join on my exhaust due to a cheapo manifold, is there any sort of exhaust paste that is better than the rest, i have fixed it once and it lasted around a month, however the instructions did say to get the exhaust red hot once the paste is on which i dont think i did properly. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Gun-Gum used to be a popular choice. I can't remember the stuff I used, think it was called FireGum? They are only really any good as sealers though, won't do a great job at patchwork or filling. Would probably be enough to get you through an MOT or whatever, but other than that they will fall off after a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt need patching its on the join, the flanges dont sit flush so i have used a gasket and paste but now its blowing like a good un, its only really got to last till Mr Whiffin gets the NA manifolds sorted.

SupraP-Z Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Holts Firegum is the stuff i used today when i fitted my new exhaust, worked an absolute treat. I used it to seal on either sides of the gasket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Well i pulled the exhaust apart last night only to find the exhaust gasket i put on 2 months ago had been blown to bits, serves me right for buying the cheapest ones i could find off ebay. I have put another cheapo replacement in whilst i search for a decent one that will last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
