Anti-seize or Loctite?
Anti-seize or Loctite on the muffler support bolts? And the clamps?

I would say neither. Nice and snug and should be good to go

If you expect to be able to get it off in a few years then anti-seize is the way to go.

Anti-seize for your O2 sensors if you have them.

You can loctite the support bolts but the clamps have pinch bolts that should never get lube or loctite.

We have a winner. When I took it apart I found loctite on the support bolts, and the clamps were dry. Thanks!

Yes but put never seize on the inside part of the muffler before sliding it on the headpipe. You will thank me the next time you remove it. Also don't get NS on the sensor portion of the 02, just the threads.

I use anti seize on the inside lip of the slip on. Same location the clamp is but inside. So whenever I go to take them off its just a twist and a pull and it's off
