Fitted a decat to the car a few weeks ago. all running smoothly until recently ive noticed it blowing and also the joint at the rear (car previously had a system then reverted to stock)
I have got around and tightened all the bolts and adjusted the rear sleeve/clamp thing for a better fit but now it needs sealing. I am unsure of what to use. my mate used gungum on there but i have found that its no longer there after cracking off.
Which of these would be best?
Halfords-- Loctite silicone sealant
also i have found that the decat could be a bit too long, Its slid over the pipe and its basically minimum distance from the silencer so i dont think the clamp is actually doing anything as its unable to secure on the standard parts.
so what would be the better option, remove the decat and shorten it. then refit with a sleeve, or would i be better off cutting some "notches" in the end of the decat allowing it to compress around the stock pipe?
Oh everyone loves a paint drawing, this is how it is atm.
