If I start it too soon, will it just blow out all the gasket material?
My guess is it's gonna just blow out reguardless. RTV and hot exhaust aren't supposed to go together. High temp means it can take the heat of being on your engine, NOT the tempratures found on your exhaust.

Its not meant to get as hot as the exhaust gasses but it can work.
The exhaust tubing and flanges don't get nearly as hot as the exhaust gas is and this is how it is able to work.
Yes, I was very surprised in the beginning when I first saw it in use, but it does work.
I also found that you need to let it fully cure if you want it to last.
Im not going to dispute Fast Intentions install directions, but I personally would rather make a set of gaskets. I had to do this with my Berk's at the Y pipe no leaks here. GL
Search works. I had to resort to this due to leaks at the Cat-to-Y pipe. Though I didn't plan that well.. I need food, and can't drive the car (cure-time=24 hours). Time to dig in the cupboards.
