Good go to
Works great. My badly made NEW rear catalytic converter with a warped flange was leaking and it was giving me a code. Tried several time with different gaskets, but ended up using this silicone and a donut gasket/ Haven't got a code since. Good stuff.

The Only RTV for High-Heat Engine Jobs
If you're working on anything high-heat, like an exhaust manifold or turbo application, this is the only gasket maker to use. The Ultra Copper RTV is a workhorseโit handles maximum temperatures without breaking down, shrinking, or leaking. It goes on smoothly, cures quickly, and forms a super durable, tight seal. I've used it on headers where standard RTV would just burn up, and this holds strong. It's the professional choice for reliability under extreme heat. Essential for engine work.

Ultra copper
Didnโt actually use it but boy it is a nice package. Really I had some left from previous purchase that has ease of use & the color is the proper size & the flexibility of the adhesion make the entire job go as good as it should be and it doesnโt leak & it wonโt come off of your skin if you let it dry as told by a professional stylist for the up and coming hair styles of the modern youth in and about any metropolitan areas where you may experience it for yourself.

Amazing
Five stars for a tube of sealant that appears to understand its role in life perfectly: go where itโs put, stay there, and stop important things from leaking out. Permatex Ultra Copper is excellent stuff. It applies well, spreads nicely, and gives you that reassuring sense that you are using a product designed by people who have met an engine and bear it no ill will. I used it for a gasket job where you very much want reliability over theatrics, and it behaved impeccably. What I liked most was that it felt properly substantial and easy to work with. Not too runny, not awkward, and it set up well. Once cured, it gave a solid, dependable seal and inspired far more confidence than some cheaper alternatives that seem to regard sealing as more of a philosophical suggestion. Itโs the sort of thing you keep in the toolbox because sooner or later something hot, mechanical, and faintly temperamental will require attention. When that moment comes, this is exactly the kind of product you want on your side. Very good quality, does the job properly, and well worth having around
