Belanger Exhaust

[Makara]

Please post before and after dyno results if you have them. I'd like to hear what it sounds like as well. I would like to put an exhaust on my GTS. I had the Belanger and high flows on my RT-10 and I really liked the sound but it was very loud (sidepiped car).

Have a rubber mallet handy.

Get a tube of "Permatex" Ultra Copper, Sensor-safe high temp RTV silicone gasket maker Part# 101BR, for the flanges. They are a nice system to install! We/I have installed a few of their systems. Nice workmanship!!

DO NOT USE COPPER OR ANY RED COLORED RTV SEALANT on Belanger or any other flanges, it will coat your oxygen sensors and set CE codes. Use only BLACK hi temp rtv. But the brilliant sales person who sold you your system should have either told you that or included it in the installation instructions..my instructions contain all of this material for hassle free installations.

Never had a problem with it! I'm sure you would if you use to much of it? A little common sence gose a long way!! I've been using it for years and I'm sure I will be using it for many years to come!

No harm meant, just funny..

I also used the red Ultraseal with no problems. I would also suggest that while you have the side sills off, that you consider doing the machine screw revision for the side sill attachment. This procedure is on the VCA mod. page, and requires buying a tool to set the rivet nuts. If you do not do this, the movement of the headers and side pipes will work loose all of the sheet metal screws over time, and they will fall out in front of your rear tires. The pipes will move more than the stock pipes since the flex joints are removed.

Some folks have used the Ultra Copper sealant and recommend it yet Tom mentions not to use this stuff. So what's the best sealant to use then?

Does Permatix offer their sealant in Black?
