Can any of you give me some advice on how to install the exhaust system on a 206 1.6 16v.
No matter how many times I adjust the clamps and pipes I can't stop small gas leaks between the exhaust flanges!
Its like they were designed to be s**t and not fit properly. I was thinking of sticking some exhaust putty on the curved edge since they don't seem to have gaskets.
Cheers

You are using exhaust assembly paste when you put it together?
Your not just bolting it together dry?

I had this problem with an exhaust.
They are made so cheaply these days and get bashed around being delivered.
Best thing to do if they are leaking at a joint is use a stronger stainless steel clamp.
They don't cost much odd eBay and you can tighten them alot more.

Using assembly paste helps create a gas tight seal on the joints. I occasionally use it where one pipe slides into the other and are held by the U-bolt and flange joints with a gasket, but always use it on flange joints with conical gaskets just to make doubly sure there is no leak as get a slight twist on the gasket and you'll have a leak. The only time it wouldn't be needed is if the faces have been machined so accurately that they create a seal from compression alone. Unfortunately off the shelf exhausts aren't usually made to this accuracy.
