Default Anti-Seize on Muffler Joint?
Just curious I pulled my slip-ons off today and as you might guess with a bit of rust they were quite difficult to remove I was wondering if its ok to put a bit of anti-seize compound on the joint ?

You'll want to use copper anti seize for high temp applications. The regular stuff will just burn off and make a lot of smoke.

I have used on my last 3 harleys. If you don't it can be a real pita to get the mufflers off.
