What does everyone use on their 2 stroke exhaust were the head pipe and the silencer meet for a seal? I have tried many rubbers and it still leaks. I looked up the factory one for my Z and they want almost $50! Should i try some high temp silicone with the rubber? The silicone works great on the head pipe on the motor with no leaks.

50 bucks!! I just bought all the seals springs and all for a friends 85 Z and it was'nt more than 35 from bike bandit.I have used a silicone called ultra copper to seal most of my exhaust laeks.The stuff works well,and can withstand high heat.

i use a piece of raditor hose from the auto parts store, i measured the outer diameter, then had them pull something close to it, works fine

I also use the Radiator hose for one of my bikes but I also have this that a friend of mine made me....He uses the same one on his drag bike with no problems....Hope I dont have any when the time comes.... :D

Yeah I've seen those and thought about using one but right now I just put a little of high temp silicone with no leaks. Only prob is if u take of the silencer or pipe u have to clean and reapply everytime.
