as a general rule of thumb the the higher the temp rating the greater
amount of nickel there is in the anti seize paste.  what kind you use kind
of depends on what your driving conditions are and how long between the
intervals of exhaust disassembly.  i second what jimt said, that you can
never have to much nickel in the paste when doing exhaust work.  besides
nickel in the paste i like to put nickel in the nuts, bolts and studs :).
