Reply #5 - 03/19/11 at 18:48:46 RTV Liquid Gaskets? http://www.all-spec.com/products/85915.html It says up to 650F. Anyone use this for their muffler gaskets? I just bought a pair of Dyna mufflers (anyone need one?), and I'm considering what gasket I should use in the installation.

Reply #7 - 03/21/11 at 15:58:48 I just ran mine in the barn for a few minutes at a steady 2500-3000 estimated RPM and it was 450 F at the joint area. 45 degree day, straight through glasspack, carb spacer mod and idle mixture adj. Lots of variables!

Reply #9 - 03/22/11 at 20:24:08 I was in Napa today and saw a tube of muffler joint sealant. Used on exhaust pipe joints when you assemble them to seal them better. Might work great on our bikes.

I guess I'll go to autozone and see what they have. Maybe they'll have something specifically for mufflers. That, or I'll just try the tin can idea from the Harley Muffler guide in the tech section.

I would not recommend welding it because in the event that you are not happy with the results then it can be difficult to break the welds. I recently wanted to replace the straight pipe and homemade baffle that I welded on and ended up accidentally cutting all the way through the header. Now I am having to replace the whole exhaust system.
