A lot of people believe that it’s impossible to fix your own car at home, thanks to all the new electrical components and systems fitted in vehicles today. But actually, there are still bits of your car which can be fixed by hand – including your exhaust pipe. Fumes leaking out of your exhaust in the wrong place can increase your car’s emissions, and they can also damage other parts of your car.

When assembling a new exhaust or adding replacement parts to an existing system, you need an adhesive that will offer outstanding heat and vibration protection.

It can be applied to all areas of an exhaust, including straight and curved pipe and box assemblies, and its heat resistance means it will continue to work as normal even when the exhaust gets hot.
