Default HondaBond on Headers???

Can you use this on the headers and downpipe? or do you recommend something else.

Thanks!

I doubt Hondabond is going to help seal an exhaust leak, the exhaust is probably too hot.

are you trying to seal a small crack/hole or where they join? If a small crack or hole, try JB Weld or get it actually welded. If it's at where they join just get a new gasket.

Permatex makes a muffler and tailpipe sealer... there are also other similar products from other brands, i just can't think of the names.

No it won't work. Most cold weld products has a temp hold of 600 degrees max. I tried to JB weld my headers and the weld just turned into a powder. Take it to an exhaust shop. To weld up headers should be about $100.00

Hondabond is used for gaskets not fill cracks.
If you aftermarket headers like DC Sports, they reach temps around 1100 degrees. That silicone Hondabond will also burn off.

I will be replacing the header gasket soon, I already ordered the parts from Majestic Honda.

I just thought by adding something there will insure a leak free headers.

Ok. is HondaBond ok to use on Oil Pan then? I got the OEM gasket already and I will doing that and the headers at the same time.

Hondabond should work on any gaskett. As far as the headers go, if installed correctly there will be no leaks.
