Has anyone used Permatex for an exhaust leak?
This is what I'm trying to fix. It's a small leak but I can't sleep at night because of it. It sounds like a hack fix to me using the Permatex. Does the high heat ( appoxie ) permatex work? Those are Pacesetter coated LT's btw.Thanks.

If you're thinking of using it at the junction of the flange and the tube, forget it, it'll be gone quick
If you've just bought them, contact the place you bought them from (or pacesetter) and see if they will warranty them, sounds like a manufacturing defect, if they won't, you can take it to a welder and have the hole(s) filled

I used the high temp permatex on my slip collectors, I had a 3" band clamp too. I slid my H-pipe over the collector, put a FAT bead of orange permatex on it, and put the clamp on.
