Have exhuast leaks pretty bad at cylnder , gaskets were good n the orig header wasnt to terribly tight. The sleeves were twice as long as fact. Wondering if i should crank em don to seat them. ?
Cant post pics from my phone. Dam file to large. W post in morn.
Had called dealer and only had 2 gaskets in stock. Parts guy said w such a new bike i should be fine. Wound up putting all new in and am much happier. I alsi took lolas advice n taped frame to protect from scratches. Was a great idea! No scratches till i used a plastic edge to scrape n got cpl small ones. Use ur fingers only on frame.
This pipe sounds mean n nasty. Winds up quick to a howling scream. I shift later in higher rpms now. And when u let off throttle in gear she growls n hisses at u. Very happy w this pipe. Sounds great , inexpensive compared to what u get, keeps center stand. No modification.

I've been looking at this setup and I have a question: are the header pipes attached to the engine with springs? I'm pretty sure the muffler attaches to the header end that way. If so, what are your thoughts on it?

Yes the headers and link to pipe have springs. The headers also are bolted in. The headers are tight to pipe and cant feel any leak. Ive ridden w this pipe a few times so i cant speak to long term. But this set up is what i think this bike should sound like. I do feel a difference in acceleration as well. Its pretty strait pipe w not much baffling. Check ur states emission laws. They exempted bikes in az as of june 2013.
