I just added a Trinity pipe to my O.S.18TM and pretty much mangled the silicone seal that goes between the engine and head pipe. There's not enough gap for the Trinity seal or the O.S. seal to fit :shrug:

What are people using??

Should I just use some high-temp RTV??
 
but another gasket and put after run oil on the gasket,so u won't tear it
 
The stock one doesn't fit.
I did cover it in oil and I also trimmed down the lug on the inside of the seal and it still wouldn't go on. The gap between the outside of the exhaust collar and the inside of the head pipe is too close but not close enough to seal without something.
 
I to ripped my first one, luckily I had an extra gasket from a NEW ERA header here at the house and I got it to fit...Tight fit but with some love & lots of WD40 it went on there....
If you still have the factory OS Revo Header you can use it with the trinity pipe, thats what most people do that run the OS engines with that Pipe....I didnt have a Revo header so I was stuck useing the Trinity one, my OS 18tm was the T-Maxx version.
