Exhaust Leak

[elbpf]

I have a leak at the collector (new Headers, where the two sides come together and go into the single pipe). Does anyone know of a sealant that can be used for these, without having to replace pipes or other parts.

 

I would love to be able to just squeeze some sort of high temp rubber cement or something over the leak and call it good for a while?

 

Any ideas or quick fixes welcome on this, thanks.

Permatex Ultra Copper works for a while, but its not permanent. What kind of collector are you running? Flange and gasket? Best thing to do is get another gasket. They're the same price as a tube of Permatex.

^I actually vote for both. My headers and Y pipes have gaskets and Permatex copper. No leaks.

 

Like he asked, what components do you have?

Yeah 10/4 I use gaskets and the Permatex as well.

Try Remflex gaskets. You'd have to buy the material and make your own. They only list the exhaust manifold for the VG30.

you could always just weld it
