I'm def down for cruise and some brews anytime guys, just lmk!

. Also, I called yoshimura this morning and they said there's no gasket for this and one isn't needed since it's a compression clamp. They did say if I'm still having issues,I can send it to them, and if I wanted to use a sealant, they'd recommend copper seal pepper something. Also I can torque past recommended ratings if I still have issues.so I'll try that tonight.

You can torque past recommended ratings? No, don't do that, it will mess up the clamp and/or deform your pipes. Just tighten it down nice and snug and you're good to go. I should have mentioned my TwoBros pipe has no gasket, and its fine without it. Unless you start having air-leak symptoms like after-fire on deceleration, you're done.

Yeah, that's what Yoshimura told me to do. I did end up using permatax sealer, and I'm still letting it fully cure, but tightening it down nice and snug still had a noticeable exhaust leak that I wasn't happy about. I haven't rode it since I felt leak so I wouldn't know if i was symptomatic, but good to know I'm just being too cautious and people are running fine without. Thankss for the extra info!
