They don't need any kind of sealant, that's what people are normally referring to, but the Harley gaskets are a touch smaller than the ID of the mounting ring portion of the port, so they can't be "pressed in" and will fall out while you are mounting the pipes. Even the grease only holds them for a couple of minutes. I'm not talking "glop it on" like sealant... I just mean put a small dab with your fingertip at 3 or 4 places.

They've eased up a bit on cages... New vehicles are given a pass for 5 years, then it's every other year.
But the EPA (Federal) is working on adopting national standards that are either as tough or even tougher than what California currently has on the books. That was the reason given for the EPA denying a waiver allowing California to enforce it's new "greenhouse gas emission" law against the automakers.
