need some help guys. ok, i just installed a slip-on and i have an exhaust leak at the mid-pipe to header connection and a small leak at the mip-pipe to can connection. all my clamps are fully tightened down. what products do you guys use to solve this? or is there something im doing wrong? i tried the muffler tape crap and the pipes would not slide on cause of the tape. i tried wrapping it 1x around and it still would not slide on.

thanks guys.

 

use some RTV ultra copper or orange sealant.
ultra copper will work awsome...

 

thanks. just bought some of that tonight. the only problem i see with this is its only good up to 700* intermittent. im pretty sure the header and exhaust will get hotter than that. but im still going to try this stuff out.

thanks again

i've used it on my pipe with no problems...the ultra copper...
they also hav an RTV black that is super duper high temp.

i have to wait for the rain to stop. then ill try and seal these up real good. i couldnt find anything w/a higher temp than the liquid copper stuff. hoping tomorrow after work i can get it done so i can ride this weekend. there is a 24hr fully cure time needed.
