Hi=20 Dave,

There would=20 be a little more to worry about with the turbo perhaps. On the = normal=20 exhaust flange, anything that oozes out into the inside of the pipe gets = burned,=20 or blown away. With a muffler, we don't really care where that = blob of=20 silicone goes, but you probably wouldn't want it hitting a turbine = wheel. =20 I think you'd just have to be careful not to get too much near the = exhaust hole=20 in the flange.

Cheers,
