mongoose exhaust gaskets and/or silicone sealant

[masterbateson]

I need gaskets for a mongoose exhaust but have no idea if I can get them.
I read an old thread and someone suggested using silicone sealant.

Anyone tried it?

Assuming if you can high temp stuff would be the best.
I've never heard of using that b4 for exhausts

We use High temp sealer at work but we put it onto the gaskets ... Im sure you could make your own out of really think sheet of metal

universal 2 bolt 3 inch exhaust gasket and a 75mm 3 hole gasket from gtschris?

as above, they'll be universal gaskets, available pretty much everywhere. don't use silicone sealant, it'll make a right mess, best leave it to bathrooms and kitchens!

I'll maybe try Chris, went to my local motor factors and they looked at the sections and said we aint got anything that size for sure, is it off a truck?

I've used the high temp silicone in place of cheap gaskets for the last couple of years - no leaks so far on 5 cars. Not the 'proper' way to do it but it works on both turbo and NA cars

Use proper gaskets and Fire Putty!

Seems to really divide people using fire putty or exhaust paste compared with not using any.
Seen countless posts were people swear by both.

Loctite 5990.

Only makes a mess if you use too much.

never on anything before the turbo or lambda sensor, not on the turbo to DP flange, I usually use a little smear on the rest of the flanges and always on any slip joints

You can as said buy 75mm two bolt gaskets and 3 bolt mr2 75mm gaskets from ebay that where mine came from

I used the crush gaskets from TCB on mine with a little bit of silicone
