URGENT - Exhaust Gaskets - Help Please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Zilverado* · 10-04-2003, 07:05 PM

So I'm putting some exhaust pieces back together and have some metal "felpro" gaskets (manifold flanged pipe connetions, etc.).

Should I use a HI temp sealant on these gaskets as well, or go just the gasket along - the flanges are good.

I have some "felt" gaskets as well for near the cat - these I usually use sealant on, but I'm not sure about the metal ones.

Help soon please.
Thanks

I've never used hi-temp on metal flange gaskets. I've never had a leak either, but maybe I'm just lucky?

Good luck.

Thanks. That's what I kinda figured.

Actually, evening has come here, so I think I will leave the reassembly until tomorrow. So, I'm hoping that I will get a few more responses. I just want to make sure I do this right.

Thanks in advance.
