Pipe to Header connection loose and leaking

[brandonlowe2]

The connection point where the pipe connects is loose and leaking..... really makes a mess and sounds bad. I have known about it for a little while now, but, this week I am going to be able to get it out, clean it up and attempt to fix it.

Anybody that has had this happen before and can give me a little "pre-advice" on how to fix it would be appreciated.

most of the 2 strokes do not run a o ring seal its just exhaust port to header. your springs help hold this one. high temp silicone your exhaust port and do the same with the pipes inside. install use new springs and let sit. should fix your issues. running good oil helps and so does the correct jetting and mixture.

OK, that sounds easy enough... I will get it done and report back with the results! Thanks!
