[uncle porry]

gonna put my exhaust system back on this week, should i put some sealing paste on the joins or just plonk em together ??

[Nigel C]

shouldn't need it just slap some copaslip on there helps them slide together and make it easier to get them apart again

[nelly]

Just put 'em back together with a smear of Copa-Slip, nothing else.
If you drop sealing paste in there, because of the type of connection and "tight" fit, you'll never get them apart again.
Before you assemble them though, it's worth scraping the "female" joints out with some wire or such like to get all the carbon and muck out.
