Can I use this to wrap a leaking muffler?

No, it will not stay on. The heat will melt the adhesive and it will fall off. It is designed to be a heat shield-placed on a surface next to the heat source.

No. Muffler has comes out at pressure. Look at the products website and it well tell you for sure. If it doesn't say you can't, it doesn't mean you can

i wouldn't. this is more to keep heat out rather than in. exhuast gasses would go through this. they make exhuast sleeves if you want to fix it

Yes you can. See this video from Youtube. This is how I fixed my leak successfully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRpkklLqoKI

I would say no. The tape is intended to be used as a heat insulation on exhaust and turbo components. Does pretty well at that use.

That's what I did. Works great, you might need to fuss with the mic location. Recommendation: take a zip tie and secure the muffler to the actual microphone. Otherwise you'll take off your helmet and it will eventually fall off and get lost.

Sure. If you have the room to wrap it around the leak. The tape stretches and hardens to itself as you wrap. This stuff kicks ass. Try it.

Naturally it does seal small leaks as it seaps leaving material to close up the leak area and stopping the leak . But if the holes are to big of course it will do no good. As for your question states your leak is near the muffler baffles me because radiators are in the front of the vehicle and the muffler is usually at the rear. Unless what you mean to say is near the cat converter behind your engine. So all you can do is try and see. I would probably not recommend more than the recommended dose the instructions call for though.

The last thing you want is to loose a muffler going down the road because you didnt weld the connection. Why risk not welding the silencer on?

Might work if you clean the entire area first with min spirits or lacquer thinner. Surface needs to be clean and dry, oil free for this stuff to adhere. It's like spraying a thin film of rubber over the leak. Might be easier to just replace the gasket.

I would not recommend this product for that purpose. It would be best to use a silicone based adhesive. If you go to an automotive parts store, they should have a good glue for this application.

No. It is to divert heat from source. Not for wrapping the heated surface. You might want a insulated blanket or a wrap that's rated for high heat for your application.

I don't believe so. Usually requires a new rear main seal. They get brittle an leak over time. This product is great for valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, etc.

I would use this or some other sealant in a case where a replacement part is not available, but otherwise, you could probably pick up a used manifold at a salvage yard for under $50 and do the job the right way. I've learned that in the end, shortcuts rarely save any time or money.

I use this to seal silicone cooling plenum flex material against an engine crankcase(temp is about 170degF). It can not be used solely as a gasket. A thin layer could be used as a gasket cement but I would not use it as the next service interval will involve some nasty clean up. Also, some residual material could beak off internally while in service an plug an oil galley...so I wouldn't use it for a gasket cement application.

Look at your installed muffler to verify inlet/outlet are the same positions. If they are, a competent muffler shop will have no problems fitting this. If they aren't, it could still work but piping may need to be modified

You could wrap the entire length - personally I went as far as the bend in the downpipe. It was beyond the firewall and under the car at that point. I see little reason to go beyond that. Also, note: don't wrap your cats

Yes you can, but only if it's a small hole or slit and the marine-tex must be applied all the way around the pipe. Try it, if still leaking cut it and solder a coupling.

I just went to a muffler shop and had them bend a piece of exhaust tubing to fit over the generator tail pipe. Instead of using a flex line do this-------a flex line won't last anyway. Hope this helps.
