Good to know, can I pick up some of this stuff at the dealership? Is it available elsewhere that might be cheaper?

You can get it at any auto parts store. I bet most hardware stores have it as well.

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.
