Default HEADER GASKET ON TORNADO XP

HELLO EVERYONE HOPE THAT WE ALL CAN GET SOME RUN TIME TODAY AND TOMORROW! Ihad a question i am putting a new header pipe and tuned exhaust on my .18 monday (if the parts r here) and was wondering if anybody uses silicone on the gasket or just put it on dry without silicone dont want any leaks. if anyone uses silicone what type should i use? i am putting that setup ehroof talks about hpi header tower hobby # 86037 and that associated exhaust cant remember part number. well i wish all a good time this weekend with no breakdowns, the weather here today is supposed to get to 80+ and partly cloudy skys so iam going to get some run time in today and tomorrow. all my new parts r going to be here next monday and tuesday (header, muffler, nitro star drill start, futaba radio and servoes, wheels and hole shot tires like ehroofs xp) well good luck to everybody!

You can use the hightemp gasket sealer or I use the mopar grey rear end silicone. Or you can even just buy a sheet of gasket material from auto zone and you will have enough for your life of the car .
I wouldn't run it without any. Dont think you get a good enough seal but that is me.
