I have a T0-30 that I changed the exhaust system on. I added a vertical muffler system. My problem is, there is a clamp that joins the exhaust manafold (or header) to the muffler pipe ( the piece of pipe before the muffler). I can not get a good seal at this connection, I have flipped the clamp every which way. But I still end up with an exhaust leak. Is there a donut gasket of some type that I can use or is there any tricks that I can try.

I to used furnace cement. It has held for 6 mo. and still no leaks. It can be cleaned off with sand paper when the time comes to replace the exhaust system again.

Ultra Copper High Temp Silicone works on automotive header gaskets. It may help in your case. It's worth a try because it cleans off easty.

Rick,
With the age of all of these manifolds being what it is, they don't seal too well. I had the same problem. I cut a long strip from a tin can, about 1" wide and wrapped it around the joint and then installed the clamp. The pressure from the clamp molds the strip of steel to form a pretty tight seal at the joint. Make sure the ends overlap for an inch or so.

Rick, furnace cement is about the only thing that will hold at exhaust temperatures. That's what is used to repair leaks in stoves and manifolds and foundries and forge shops. Available at older hardware stores. Auto parts stores have similar called muffler cement. L8R----Fred OH
