Subject: Re: exhaust probs

FWIW - mine does not have the crossover, no locking nut, has clamps and MAC
fishtail exhaust.

no problems so far.

but one of the macs did not quite fit on one of the headers and would move a
bit. that would move the header beyond the clamp. I shimed and sealed the
poor fit and the exhaust sits firm. I would suggest you ensure that as well.

NOT the nut coming loose (it's the locknut type), it just eats the

I was having a similar problem. A friend asked what direction I had

faced

the seam on the gasket, towards the motor or away. I had never paid

attention

to this & did not believe it would make a difference, but I was about

ready

to pull my hair out so I tried it. I had to look very close but there is

seam where the copper is rolled around, I put the seam facing away from

the

motor, problem solved.
