Sadly to answer my own question only thing that was needed with the piper cat back was some grease to aid getting the rubber bushes on and exhaust paste for the flange and slip on section. It comes with new mounting flange bolts and a band to bolt the two parts together

always used rtv silicone and fitted new rubbers myself to be honest

that concrete paste stuff is a waste of time and sets so hard you need a grinder to get it off again

I did want to do new rubbers but on the LCR they are silly expensive as they are the mounts and rubbers in one. At the same time having done 67k and 5 years old they all looked very good and tight a credit to VAG unlike there exhaust hangers which rotted away!
I know what you mean with the paste but thats the whole point you get a nice tight seal that will limit twisting force which clamps dont always do.
