Exhaust leak (Read 151 times)

babyhog Serious Thumper Offline Find a Cure for Breast Cancer! NOW!! Posts: 3802 WV Gender:	Exhaust leak 03/11/10 at 09:51:36 I think I still have an exhaust leak from when we installed my Dyna muffler. BESIDES any EPA implications, what effect will it have on the bike itself? And what's the best way to seal it now?

BTW,.. I found these great muffler clamps at a Dollar store, in a pack of two... one fits the muffler perfectly, and they are super sturdy... Keep your eyes open...

Posts: 3802 WV Gender:	Re: Exhaust leak Reply #6 - 03/12/10 at 05:10:45 We used an extension piece to move the muffler back a little. I can't remember if the leak is on the front end of the extension or the muffler/extension connection. Not sure about another clamp, but I'll see if another would fit in there. We didn't use any paste, and probably should have.
