    Default ok to use copper grease on exhaust bolts ?

    is it alright to do this ? ... or will it just smoke, and burn off eventually ?

    im fed up of the manifold studs rotting away, and the downpipe bolts snapping, so wanted to try prevent the hassle

    Copper grease is fine for exhaust bolts

    I often use it on assembly so exhaust sections don't seize together too.
