Silly question. Fitting an exhaust.

[Diagro]

hey peeps

I may have a silly question for you all.

I got a genuine Exhaust that's in VERY good nick for £40, that's the center pipe and backbox.

I would like to fit this myself rather than pay the local garage £40 for fitting it.

Am i right in thinking that all i require is the following:

New metal Gasket (for between cat and center)
Some Gum Gum Paste (for extra sealing of that gasket)
New Rear exhaust mount (mines cracked and rubber is crap! Exhaust makes banging sounds)
New Center mount (Current one is ok, but for £15 i cant say no)

Now then. This is all ready joined together can i simply undo the backbox from the center and then once its on the car use GumGum on the pipes and reclamp them?

here is a pic of the exhaust. Its heavy and nice and solid.

Use silicon sealant rather than gumgum, but essentially yes.

Cool. Do you know of the better branded sealant to do the job? Pref if halfords sell it as they are a 2 min drive from me.

All the mounts and gasket are on the way and should be here start of next week

The best rubber heat silicone sealant is stuff from Euro Car Parts
