Exhaust leakage through rivets
 

I just installed the 2brothers High-Mount exhaust. I used the high temp sealant on both ends of the midpipe to ensure that I have no exhaust leaks. But I found that I have exhaust leaks through the rivet holes on the can. Is this normal? Should I put some high temp sealant in the holes? About 50% of the rivets are leaking.

That's sounds like a defective can to me. Possibly it was repacked improperly... Otherwise, minor leaking should cause no problems. I don't think mine leaks at all though

Yes it is normal. Rivets are not air tight. Give them a little bit and they will plug up.

I don't know if I would call it "normal". My Yosh pipe never had any leaks, and you certainly don't see a stock pipe leaking. It might be normal for a Two Bros, but if that's true I'd question the quality of the pipe.

well small leaks arent reallt going to affect performance, the only time it may be annoying would be on a cold day when you can literally see the exhaust fumes. I would just leave it as is. it might even be alittle louder cause of it :D
