I bought a set of used slip on Rush mufflers and gonna put on the Rg. Should I use new muffler clamps and install some HI-Temp silicone around the mufflers where they slip into the headers to help seal the connection and make sure they dont leak?&nbsp\\; If I put the silicone on there what condition will the silicone be in 5 or 10 thousand miles if I pull them off to replace with sometrhing else?
I've never done slip on's before. Thanks HMT

 

It won't hurt.....&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; yes, new clamps

 

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I put on a set of Rush's a couple of weeks ago with new clamps.&nbsp\\; I had leaks.&nbsp\\; I pulled them off and use permatex copper silicon.&nbsp\\; Try to put the adjuster away from the slits in the mufflers.&nbsp\\; No problems now.&nbsp\\;

 

Permatex High Temp&nbsp\\; Ultra Copper , let it dry overnite too!!&nbsp\\; Steve

 

Good luck, let me know how you make out, because I,m having a hell of a time sealing mine.

 

The permatex ultra copper works really well for sealing exhaust systems. I agree with letting it set up well overnight.

 

Thanks for tip guys. The pipes wont be here till monday.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I'll reply back after I get them put on. Have a happy and safe 4th. HMT
