Hi Is anyone using large can allspeeds, the reason I ask is whats the best way to seal them on the exhaust ports? They have two springs on each down pipe do you use a special silicone sealant or just a gasket? also do the washers that go on the studs for the springs go before the flange or after the flange ? Any advice would be great
thanks
Alan

Just use standard gasket on header and 2 x springs, not leaking yet but I have heard of using a special silicone. Wouldn't mind knowing what it is

Using the thick springy type gaskets (Soz for description but are not copper or ally must be about 5-6 mm thick) and put spring washers on after clamps fitted

The flanges on my allspeeds are welded on (no springs) I just use the normal gaskets and sealer
