Exhaust woes!

[MeatHelmet]

I am having real problems getting my exhaust to seal properly.

I have had the end can and the mid pipe off the down pipe twice now, and it will not seal right, it’s blowing at both joints.

Has anyone got any advice?

I have cleaned the pipes, inside and out properly, used exhaust paste to join them, clamped them up tightly, but they continue to blow!

I’m at a loss as to how to fix it!

It’s really starting to irritate me.

Shim that sucker. Cut up strips of beer or bean cans, get it as tight as you can so that you can barely persuade it together before clamping.

Instant gasket works, but it's filling gaps that shouldn't be there.

Beer/coke can shims help.

"Versachem Muffler Weld" works pretty good too, far better than gungum and the like.

Cheers chaps.

I have a few beer cans laying around.

Unfortunately, they have beer in them, so I will have to drink that first
