    Sealing exhaust joints with silicone ?

    I searched google there reading up on the best way to seal the joints of an exhaust , and read that when doing so on a stainless steel exhaust its best to use silicone sealent , rather than exhaust paste as the paste does not take to the stainless steel very well ? Anyone ever heard of this ?
