Hope nobody minds a couple cents' worth from a newcomer...I've used some paste 
before and it's ok, not wonderful.  Be careful, though, that whatever you use is 
compatible with aluminum.  Some of it causes corrosion, especially if you join 
aluminum to steel, or some other metal.  There's a term for this corrosion, but 
I can't recall what it is.

Sorry, can't remember.  It's been a while since I did any exhaust work at all 
(hasn't been long enough, though).  :)

Can't comment on that, but it's an intersting idea.  It's something I may 
consider when I install the new one I'm gonna have to have soon.  What kind of 
paint works?
