Anyone know the appx. max temperature at the header where it meets the midpipe. I have some 500 degree silicone sealant, but I am not sure that high enough...THankss. |

FMF has be great so far. Front AFV up to 104.5 and rear stayed at 100.0.
Any one got ideas on the hand guards from the pic Fresno posted above ?

I was concerned about the header temp too because the only silicone gasket maker I had laying around was rated to 650F. Looking at the websites for products available in auto parts stores, the highest temp I could find was Permatex Ultra Copper, and that was rated to 750F.
Check out this post I found where I guy measured his ATV's exhaust temp at various points:http://forums.atvconnection.com/polaris/282444-exh aust-pipe-surface-temperature.html
Those readings of course can't be directly compared, but they suggest that your 500F silicone might be close to the limit. |

Fres, I used Permatex ultra copper, good to 700 degrees. Have not noticed any issues so far.
