whats a good silicone for exhaust leak

[fugitive]

my downpipe is leaking where it bolts to the turbo. is there a silicone that will last with the heat that is at that spot ??

Maybe the orange high temp but thats only good till 700. Contact ATR ( Aplied Technologies & Research) and tell them what size turbo and what downpipe you have and they will get a gasket out to you.

the ultra copper stuff works, i use it where the header bolts to the turbo, turbo to downpipe, and the crossiver, never had a problem

RED COPPER works for Man, to header on turbo

If ATR is not available GM may still sell one for a Riv turbo that works.Try a search for the part #.
