Exhaust gaskets with high temp silicone?
When changing exhaust gaskets on a 3.2 does anyone use high temp silicone goop or something also to help seal or hold them in place?

Put them on dry, just like the factory did. If they fall down put a little dot of grease near each stud hole, just to hold them while you attach the exhaust.

Olav: I'm not sure where my earlier comments went, but I'll post again for you. A lot of people use silver anti-seize, I don't and never have. I prefer copper paste, also an "anti-seize", that's made by Lubro Moly (LM 508) and sold, I think, by Performance Products. Put a dab of the stuff on the male threads and tighten normally. Regarding torque, most 8mm hardware on 911s is torqued to about 18 lb/ft, so nice and snug is enough. Don't get muscular, those studs can break!
