Where my end can joins to the downpipes (via the 3 bolt connection) there is a gap and it's blowing slightly, never really worried bout it but have my MOT booked for friday and I understand this is a fail, so do I just use some sealant on this?

Cheers

mine done this when i replaced end can for mot ...so yep bit of exhaust paste then bolt it back up i think it is best to do this when exhaust is warm though , i might be wrong but give it a go it can't hurt

ive used silicone exhaust sealer previously, doesnt set rock hard and you can peel it off if need be at a latee date.

try GUNGUM

the paste is good for that, or wrap it if you can.
