Why would you not put anti sieze on the manifold end ?? I've been doing so
for decades on cars and airplanes and the only problem I've had is that it
doesn't last for that long on the manifold end. OTOH, it's better to have
it there than not. Every year at annual inspection (which coincidentally
will be Saturday) I remove the brass manifold nuts from my Cub's exhaust to
remove and inspect the exhaust system. I always use loads of anti sieze and
next year it comes apart OK - and unfortunately my plane lives outside.
Leave the anti sieze off, and in a year it'll be frozen enough to break at
least a couple of studs. Ask me how I know...
