BTerry,

Have you used the Permatex on the bolts? How tough are they to remove after some running? Do you toss the gasket and just have the Permatex form it's own?

Thanks
Matt,

Normally I use a thin coat of Permatex Ultra Copper on one side of the joint - you don't want so much that it squeezes out all over. Then I fully clean the bolt threads and use the red Loctite 274 high temp (I think that is right) threadlocker. It can be hard to remove, but at least the muffler WILL NOT fall off.

To remove the bolt I touch a hot 70watt soldering iron to the head of the bolt to heat it up. After a 10 seconds or so the bolt can be removed.

Brett
