JFYI the tubes has expiration time, so if you dont use them very often I think is not a good idea to buy several.

I'm concerned about that to so I cut up some scrap rubber hose and put it under both sides of the metal lines to help absorb vibrations.

I wouldn't use it for that. I can't say for sure whether it would fail or not, but I would just use the gaskets you can get at the parts stores

That question is similar to my thoughts: Does anti-seize work on exhaust manifold bolts? Doubtful, but I put it on there anyways lol
