I don't think there IS an  affordable "correct" way. Anything that 
works is good. Is the silicone  strong enough, or do you do the sheet 
alum thing, like I do, and then seal  around that with the silicone.

I'd love to have a good solution, but I  figured the silicone would be 
too weak and would not take the heat. I  might try that next time.




The Hi-Temp Ultra Copper from Permatex is O2 sensor safe, and is formulated 
 to withstand really high temps (1200+degrees). This is why I like it for 
exhaust  work, since it was originally designed for that. I usually add a 
thin coat to  the HE pipe, then slide the donut on, add a little to both sides, 
and assemble  the exhaust. The side benefit of the silicone, is that it 
actually keeps the  muffler pipes from rusting to the HE pipes. : ) This allows 
you to remove the  muffler IF you need to, without destroying the muffler 
(as I've seen others do  in the past).
