I'm finishing up the build (aside from electronics) on my Predator Carbon SE Gasser. I have a Century V3 muffler.

Should I use red threadlock on the muffler bolts?

Should I use one of the gaskets provided with the engine (fits the Century muffler like a glove)?

Thanks for your input.

No threadlock , copper based RTV thinly smeared over the contact area with no gasket is the way to go .... or a copper gasket, if you can make one, is great ...

1 mm copper gasket is the way to go, no RTV or thread lock needed.
I had my doubts at first as the muffler would come lose every time but trust me the gasket works 100%
