Hi All,
I just finished up putting a Gibson SS single exhaust system on my 4.0. Nice low tone that oddly really doesn't make it into the cabinet at all. Hangers and clamps are all "snug" and I was going to tighten things up, but then I had a thought: I wasn't planning on having anything welded and best i know, it creates an air-tight seal. Cool...cool. Well short of having them connections welded, is it feasible to put some exhaust wrap around the connections to accomplish something similar or will this be another maintenance thing/headache down the line?
I've never worked with the stuff and it doesn't look like it's sealed, but is there something along those lines I could go with? I was considering putting some high-temp sealant but I think I'm overthinking this like a nut.
Any input? I don't mind leaving them with clamps, just taking this opportunity to see if there's something I might be missing.
