Default Question about installing slip on.

Is there any tips I should know before I try to install a slip on? Should I use some kind of sealant between the midpipe and the slip on? and is it an easy job to do? and should I wait till after the break in period or it doesnt matter just put it on?
thanks

I helpedconverte my buddy's Hindle slip on fro standard mount to high mount this weekend and it was pretty easy. We didn't use any sealant, and we had no leaks. The pipes were kinda hard to go together, so one of my other buddy's suggested to use Pam cooking spray for lube??? It worked really well and didn't smoke or stink up the garage when we fired it up. Who knew.... Pam to the rescue lol

Easy job, nothing special. Do you have an O2 sensor and/or eliminator?
