[Tigers] Exhaust Manifold Issues

I use Permatex Ultra Copper, it is rated to 700 degrees. I worked at a
muffler shop and used it on manifolds, cat converters, anything hot.
Worked for me 98% of the time. Won't work on big gaps for a long period
of time, the better the fit the better it works.

When I have looked at high heat copper sealant, they generally say for
the intake side, not the exhaust side. Do they work anyway? Or have I
just not found the right one yet?

Jay, 
I use Orchard Supply Hardware or Krylon aluminum spray paint, the color
is called aluminum. They have aluminum powder in the paint. The Orchard
can says aluminum metallic. 
I have also used it on exhaust gaskets but you might be better using
high heat copper silicon sealer on the gasket. This works pretty good,
even on used gaskets.
