Installing Straight Exhaust ?

Quick question, I'm installing a 5" straight pipe exhaust this weekend, and I was wondering if you need to install any kind heat wrap or tape at the exhaust clamps, or do the clamps seal tight enough not to leak ?

I will probably use some lock tight on 'em. Thanks

What kind of clamps does it come with? The band clamp types are the best. They will form to the pipes. The U bolt pipes crush the pipes together. Both of them seal great and you are suppose to crank them down good so you dont need thread lock.

walker makes a sealant for clamped joints called accustaseal or somthing like that . its is a black tar like sealant that helps seal and prevents the pipes from seizing together for easy removal later on down the road . i put a bead around the inside of the joint slide the next pipe in then clamp it down .
