Does anybody have experience using any type of high temperature anti seize on the threads?

Another question,  does anybody know of a good device for removing hose clamps that can work in tight, remote spaces on vanagon?  I saw one recently that had a cable mechanism to squish the clamp.

Hi,

I just finished installing the new muffler and rear pipe and now have an exhaust leak around the right head connection.  Which way do you install the gaskets with the metal end toeard the heat or vice versa?  How much tension is tolerable in the rear pipe?
