Question Forgot to put anti-seize on exhaust bolts last fall

I've learned a lot reading posts on this forum. I've realized that last fall when I installed my MBRP exhaust that I didn't use anti seize on my bolts when I bolted the exhaust to the downpipe. Should I back out the bolts and apply anti seize at this point? Or, should I leave it alone?

thanks,
Bob

IF you can back then out I would suggest that you remove them and apply the anti-freeze.

Will anti-freeze work too? It's a lot cheaper. Could I just dip them in my radiator?

Just kidding!

I have an excuse, I had not finished my first cup of coffee when I replied to that.

I guess but if you confuse the tooth paste with the Preperation-H then you got a problem.

I need to take my turbo off to install my pyro probe so I should probably get some to put on the nuts there also. I've never had my exhaust manifold off but another recent thread detailed the horrors or a busted manifold bolt.

What's Preperation-H? Something that goes into my Cummins?

No, but you do put it up the tailpipe.
