I use 'ThreeBond 1211. Make sure you wait for 72 hours after assembling it before running it! make sure you remove all of the old material and the pipe is clean and oil free.
Proseal 'Copper XS Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Instant Gasket' is also very good.
The Proseal is good for 370 C.
If your Berg has the ball & Socket mid pipe to tail pipe interface, make sure they are fully ingaged. My 04 didn't engage fully so I had to slot the frame brackets.

I use exhaust tape made by Moose Racing (7 USD). It's like putty. You knead it between your fingers install it in the joints of the exhaust and it expands with heat. Works well.

You can't beat Permatex's Ultra silicones.These aren't rtv's.I tend to use the "Ultra Grey" because it looks better and is good to 625'F.I've also used the ultra black which I believe is rated at 500'F with no problems.Ultra Copper is the highest heat but I don't care for the orange silicone look.If you wipe off any excess good this would be the best.
You might want to check out Dow Corning's joint sealant. I imagine this would work great for the exhaust because it has fuel, thermal, and water resistance. I've never used it personally, so you might want to check some personal reviews before actually getting it.

the bloke who starteed the thread has probably passed away mr 'bigthings'! :roll: :roll:
check the date on the thread and you know....think it through....
no need for any exhaust compound on any husaberg if the jetting is right and 50% of the time it's the PS that can sort that out.
