Hi all i have plans for the week end to drop my whole exhaust system reseal it and put it back in i just want to know what you have used or tried to reseal all the joins i used Holt's exhaust assembly paste to try and seal a small leak well several small leaks but its not worked :angry: It dried hard which looked all ok but when i last jacked my car up i noticed its kinda fallen off and its all crumbled and stuff. any ideas. thanks jay

If you feel you need to use stuff like that then I'd say you have problems!
But why not just try tightening up the connectors??????
They should be tight metal to metal at each joint anyway!

When i got the car it came with a scorpion back box but i know there was something not right cause it didn't sound as t should do Ive had them before. So on a closer look i saw the pipes where leaking from every join like where the clams goes and stuff also the worse gap was on downpipe was not really joined to the cat pipe section it just kinda of sat together i could squeeze a finger in the gap so i done what i could as a short term fix bit of gungum and some of their bandage stuff. but its vibrated loose again so it defiantly needs redoing.i tried to tighten what i could but i guess it wont cut it. just looking for some good tips on products to use thanks

if its coming apart that quickly, i would check engine mounts as a possible cause
used holts stuff before, never had a prob with it :smiley:

Well thats it spent the last 4 hours on the floor laying on my back had the car on jacks and them little ramps. Took all the exhaust off cleaned it up use sand paper at the jointing bits and resealed it all back hopefully its done the job. I love the sound of the car when its got no exhaust sounded like a few Harley's where on my drive way :grin: :grin: :grin:
