[QUOTE="snowflake, post: 48905, member: 152"] see, thats what prompted this thread, I was going to get FMF 4 stroke packing as well as their high temp silicone, until I read the reviews on RMA Doesn't last.By James in CO Comments On Feb 09, 2011: 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.

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.
