High-Temp Silicone?
I'll be installing 4" Rinehart Slip-ons on my 2011 SG this week.
The installation instructions recommend a bead of "High Temp Silicone" be applied to the inlet of the Slip-on prior to sliding it onto head pipe.
What brand and type should I use?
Any tips or suggestions on this or any other part of the install?
Thanks!

doesn't matter..all the high temp silicone sealant is the same....the only other tip I have is to go back after a few rides and check all the fitting to make sure they are tight..

Yeah, what he said... Just go to your local auto parts store. It's about 5-8 bucks for a small tube. I use it when i put mine on. And Yes, check all bolts. I found some tight and others really loose. I had them all tightened to factory specs before riding and used locktite on all bolts. Even when they didn't call for it. They still loosened.
