Good go to
Works great. My badly made NEW rear catalytic converter with a warped flange was leaking and it was giving me a code. Tried several time with different gaskets, but ended up using this silicone and a donut gasket/ Haven't got a code since. Good stuff.

The Only RTV for High-Heat Engine Jobs
If you're working on anything high-heat, like an exhaust manifold or turbo application, this is the only gasket maker to use. The Ultra Copper RTV is a workhorse—it handles maximum temperatures without breaking down, shrinking, or leaking. It goes on smoothly, cures quickly, and forms a super durable, tight seal. I've used it on headers where standard RTV would just burn up, and this holds strong. It's the professional choice for reliability under extreme heat. Essential for engine work.

Works great if you apply properly.
Works great if you apply properly. Clean all metal surfaces completely with brake clean and let dry. Don't use under 60 degrees Hint: I lightly warmed up the pipes with a hot air gun before installing and let it set for 24 hours before starting engine.
