Exhaust Sealant for Akrapovic

[Jamz72]

I will be fitting my used Akrapovic Evo system this Saturday if all goes to plan and I cannot decide whether to use an exhaust sealant or not..

The official fitting instructions (LINK) doesn't say it is required but something in the back of my mind is saying it might be best to use some.

On the other hand, when trying to read up on it online I came across a few posts saying not to use a silicone exhaust sealant up-stream from the Lambda sensor as it doesn't like it :001_unsure:

(If I was to use some it would be a silicone based sealant not a paste)

Any help or advise would be appreciated!

Use it. Don't worry.

Hmm just phoned up a local exhaust company and they've convinced me not to use any. So long as I make sure all the clamps are correctly seated and they are not leaking gas then I think I'll be fine :thumbsup:

I've always used it and no issues.
