I'm putting on my Samsons today, and wondering if you guys would recommend some sort of sealer between the various connections. Something like copper RTV sealant? Or am I good with just the clamps.

Also, should I put anything on the studs on the jugs? Anti-seize or loctite?

Thanks for your help!

 

Ultra Copper. I never put anything on the engine studs, just the nut.

I've never used a sealant, and have had no issues. The antiseize couldn't hurt though

 

I used ultra copper on the muffler to head pipe joints to cure small leaks and it worked fine.

 

I always use anti seize on studs with heat because they get warped by getting hot and cold all the time

 

+1 on the ultra copper, you can find it at wally world

 

Recommend high-temp silicone on pipe/header joint(s) & double-nut the cyl/flange studs. Don't want any air leaks w/exhaust...

 

Rinehart recommends using a sealent on the head-pipe to muffler joint.

 

+1 for ultra copper...

Works great...seals like a glove. Best of all, it doesn't lock anything together so if you need to disassemble the exhaust in the future, it will break down fairly easily.
