Doesn't last.By James in CO

It burnt up within a few hours on my YZ450F. You're better off paying a little more for packing that will last more than a couple of rides.

I don't know if its worth itBy Jesse in CO

I ordered 4 tubes, to be safe. The first was solid, dried up, bunk, no good. The second was partly solidified, but had enough silicone to do the job. I have two more tubes, still packaged, both of which feel pretty solid.
The label says it is good to 280ºC, which is 536ºF. That seems low to me for an exhaust header. After the 24-hour set time, the seal held up and did not seem to be affected by heat or wiggle after a 3 -hour ride on a rocky trail.

Don't buy, got in the mail and it was rock-hard; even though it was sealed. I had to go out and buy some at auto-parts store.

The tube came filled with all dried up silicone. Probably would work fine if i could have used it. Went to automotive store and bought high temp silicone that worked great.

where as this stuff, gets rather good reviews, I just figured I'd ask and see what the other guys are using :)
