Exhaust tape?, tape the joints of my Eurorace... Options

[VaccaRabite]

My carbs are popping on decel. It could be timing, but I bet that my Eurorace headers are leaking from the collector. I know I can see exhaust coming from it at idle.

I think I remember seeing some sort of aluminum tape that you could put on exhaust pipes to seal a leak. I thought that might be an easy way to seal up those joins after I have the pipes ceramic coated.

Anyone know anything about it? What have others done to stop the collector leaks on their EuroRace headers?

If your motor is backfiring from the carbs...you are running too lean.
Look for leaks at the manifolds, loose bolts at the carb base...that sort of stuff. re-tighten every single bolt/nut on the intake. Also clean your idle jets...one clogged jet will make it backfire up the carb.

If its backfiring from the exhaust at decel...well fix the damn leak.
Red RTV can be used...yup. I would take a closer look at the joints and come up with a better mechanical solution...not a fan of sealants in the exhaust setup....just a long term repair and maintenance issue that will never go away.
