My cousin put a scorpion exhaust on his 05 Kat 750 yesterday. The midpipe is very loose. I told him that he needs to get a new gasket. When he started it up there was a huge air leak coming from around the top of where the midpipe connects. Seems the midpipe might not be the correct size. What do you guys think?

Did it come with it's own gasket? Did the existing gasket get damaged? Did you two tighten down the collector clamp all the way? Without pics it's hard to judge. If he took out the gasket, then it will definitely be too loose...

Always reccomend replacing gaskets and be sure to put the clamps in the proper directionTDA Racing/Motorsports

When I got to his place he had allready inserted the midpipe and clamped it down so I dont know if the gasket was damaged or not. He said it didnt come with a new gaset. I dont have any pics but I can tell you that you can see about a 8th inch gap between the pipe and the gasket. I do know the it was very loose but wouldnt pull out. Hey THAZKAT what do you mean proper direction? Where could he order a new gasket and do they make different kinds?My Every Move Is A Calculated Step............

Those are the gaskets between the engine and the header, not between the header and the midpipe.
Item #4 in this fiche file is the gasket that we're talking about him needing (this particular fiche file is for 98-06 Kats, but the concept remains the same). What you saw on eBay is item #2 and not what he needs.

Check the old muffler. Maybe the gasket is still on it.
I had to use sealer on my wileyco. Make sure the inside is sanded a little and wiped clean.sigpic2000 Dupli-Color Metal Specks Red GSX750fComment
