Loctite SI 5990 Copper Silicone. Comes in 100 ml tubes, one tube last me about 10 exhaust joins. Available at Halfords or online, about £6 I think.

If it's fitted correctly,
Clean the flanges on the downpipes, put a good bead around the exhaust flange, and a good smear around the tail box end, bolt together, tighten up check alingment, leave forever.

Got a nice stainless steel cat back for estate here. Last a while for sure! Let's get a deal done and I'll bring the exhaust buddy. I'm good to go  :)
