hi ive got a decat centre an back box thet i want to fit. only i have a problem was supposed to be using a friends pit but its not looking like ill be able to use it now!
question would it be possible for me to fit the exhaust using axle stands as i wanted to get it on over the weekend?

can anyone tell me if im right in thinking that i put the jointing paste on both sides of the gaskets?

couple of hours if you take your time with plenty of breaks inbetween!

best bet whilst doing it on the floor, is do the centre section first, then attach then do the backbox, just so your not doing it all in one if you know what I mean.

can you help me with the best method to use the jointing paste to make sure i seal it right?

to be honest on the centre section and the back box, all I used was paster (no gaskets at all). My centre sort of slotted over the downpipe bitso it is really airtight (been through the mot okay and doesnt blow) for the backbox I just used plenty of paste again so when you tighten it up the paste sort of squeezes out between the joins, again no problems with that either.

cheers for that i think i will have a go at it tommorrow
