Instead of using high-heat silicone try anti-seize compound, which will help seal the joint and reduce corrosion and rust making the muffler easier to remove later if needed. I've used this for years and have never had decel pop, although I'm not suggesting this will fix your problem. It can't hurt, though.

I never thought to use it to seal the mufflers. Sounds like a great tip. It would be much easier to remove than the gold RTV I used!

Anti Seize works great to seal slipons. Seals, prevents corrosion and makes removal much easier. Make sure the head pipes are clean (rust / corrosion free). Wipe a thin film of anti seize on the head pipe and a thicker layer inside the slipon to ensure complete coverage. It will also act as a lube to help installing the slipons.
