Exhaust Putty lternatives

[mhartman]

It doesn't look like Walker Exhaust Putty (35959) is available anywhere these days. Is there an alternative for the sidepipe slip fit joints?

NAPA #35958 Yale Exhaust pipe and muffler sealer My Napa store had some in stock, just checked, when you buy it make sure the putty has not hardened in the tube!!!!!

Thanks Bill. It looks like #35958 and #35959 are/were two different products. #35958 being a "cement" and #35959 being a "putty". Any idea if a "cement" product would pose a problem at the time of future disassembly?

I checked and the one I was using was the 35958 and the tube says cement and other places it is referred to as a putty. I guess I will never buy it again at Napa as they want close to $25 a tube and Amazon has it for $8. I really found no problems disassembling the system after I used it and just cleaned the pipes up and added more on reassembly. For $8 give it a try. I looked at the tube I have and it is still soft after using it six months ago. All I know is that it stopped the leaks and seemed to work for me.
