Anti-seize on exhaust pipe ?

I am going to put a threaded coupler in the exhaust stack on my IH 444. This will allow me to remove the muffler easially when removing the hood, without having to unclamp the muffler or try to unscrew the pipe from the manifold. My question is, will Anti-seize work on an exhaust pipe or what would you recommend to keep the threads from seizing up? Teflon tape, dry graphite, etc...?? Maybe some of the stuff that is used on oxygen sensors ?

Anti-seize is made from several different materials. The package will list the primary materials. Some are nickel, some are copper and graphite, some are lead- lead is now really hard to find. Never saw one with aluminum and think it would be a terrible choice if available. The nickel is my choice for the exhaust system. Have always had good results with the nickel. Mixing different metal parts does help in some applications, but often other metals hasten the rusting of iron/steel, which is the problem we are trying to avoid.

OK I'm no Antisieze expert or anything but I believe that your typical antisieze is ZINC and petrolium not aluminum or anthing else that was suggested. You can also buy the copper and petrolium antisieze which has the added benefit of being a good eletrical contact grease.

I think it sould work fine on your exhaust pipe but I would reapply it every time you remove the pipe because the petrolium will be burnt off over time and it may loose it's "never sieze" properties with out the petrolium.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the input everyone. I will check with my local plumbing supply to see if brass is available in the size I need and/or use the anti-seize.

Antisieze should work great, but there's another way to do it also. If you can find a plumbing supply house with a threaded coupler the size you need in brass or copper then you'll never have to worry about the pieces rusting together. Most of the equipment we work on is too big to even think about trying to use a pipe fitting like this, but we always try to at least use brass nuts in place of the steel. It makes things alot easier if for us or whoever works on it again in the future. A few extra dollars spent on the nuts, pipe fittings, or whatever now is a good investment because it will save alot more later in time or money removing or replacing broken studs or other parts.

Powdered aluminum in grease? Sure sound alot like anti or never sieze to me. Anti sieze will work well on exhaust pipe connections. I like to use it on turb mounting bolts as well.

Never-sieze is made from petrolium products and graphite. I have used this on exhaust hardware many times and it helps. Just be advised that over time and extreme heat the petrolium products will burn off and leave a dry substance similar to dirty grease.

I would suggest the stuff that's like powdered aluminum in grease. Sold in small cans with brush applicator in the lid at NAPA.
