Exhaust Putty or Sealant?

[leeds2592]

Hi All,

Quick question, replacing back box on my other halfs 206 at the weekend.

What's the best stuff to use for sealing the joint? Sealant or Putty?

Thanks

Sealant.

If it's a decent quality exhaust you shouldn't really need anything, however I find sealant to work best personally. The putty stuff just hardens and falls out.

Something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0064YMAYU/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Rtv Silicone, it's flexible and has a very high temperature of 180 degrees c.
Used it for years.

We're selling it in a month or so time so it'll just be a second hand/scrap yard jobby. Was going to patch hole up but it's massive and blowing like a good 'un.

Any recommendations on which sealant to use or are they all pretty much the same?

I've used bathroom sealant on my focus St before because I could not find the other high temp stuff I had and it was fine for over 2 years when I removed it to sell the car.
