Has any one ever managed to get the exhaust pipes to seal fully using the original gaskets? I have just fit new gaskets and the seal isn't perfect but alot better than it was. I might have to go down the route of high temp gasket sealant. Any one have any recommendations for sealing the joining pipes?
I managed to salvage and reuse the ones that joint the headers to the cat with no leaks, but the cat removal pipe to the link pipe for the cans leaked. I used clear bathroom silicone sealant and it worked perfectly. I also used it on my Superlight with no problems too. The problem with most exhaust sealant pastes is that they are not flexible and break up after a while. Silicone sealant flexes.
NB: Do NOT use any silicone based sealant if your bike has Lamda/oxygen sensors, it buggers them. :wink:
