I wouldn't use sealer on the float bowl. Just get a new gasket.
You probably have an oversize muffler from some other application. I'm
telling you, the OE muffler will not be mistaken for quiet under
throttle. The downturned tip probably doesn't have much of an effect
unless you're standing straight behind the car.
