Why silicone over epoxy?

If your looking for a permanent hold than epoxy... like the intake. Mostly everything else isn't requiring strength for hold so much as a good seal.

If you are just smoothing over the bolt heads, Bondo Glass holds really well.  Silicone will contaminate the glass and will interfere with adhesion on future repairs/modifications.
