They call me back about 10 minutes later and say they're not comfortable just using the RTV. I did convince them that there are A LOT of these out there, and I can't ever remember reading of an issue. They're saying it will leak.
I'm asking here becasue I don't know much about all this. And it's a reputable shop - they work on mostly classics (jags and maseratis) and European exotics-my 370Z was the cheapest car in the shop - by half.
Anyone else ever run into issues with this and their installer?

I did use sealant on my test pipe install and I have almost 4k miles on mine now. No leaks no cel's ever. Tony makes a great product. Only sounds I hear is an amazing exhaust note and the regular hiss on decel which happens when you remove the cats. So don't worry.
