I am installing my Full Tyga exhaust system on my VFR400, but am not using any silicone sealant around the joints, as the instructions suggest. Anyone with Tyga exhaust experience, does it leak? Should I use something to help seal the exhaust? Thanks.

I think the answer to this is in you instuctions.

Tool station and the like sell heat resistant silicon for £5 so mot an expensive job.

Put mine on in September without silicon sealant, but used copaslip on the joins. Works perfectly.
Did you get instructions then??

Are the joins not designed to be an interference fit to allow for expansion/contraction hence the spring hooks at the pipe joins would think anything other than copaslip like silicon or worse still firegum might be problematic would stick with tyga instructions.

Yep, I just took the joins off and used some high temp silicone. Was really just wanting for an easier removal when needed. Started it and no leaks so happy days. [img]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/15 ... 6a412f.jpg[/img]

And one more cause I am pretty happy![img]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/15 ... 78a88f.jpg[/img]

I just looked at the instructions on the Tyga website.

I never used any silicone when I have installed my exhausts. Just copaslip

I looked up copaslip and I would have gone that route if I knew about the product. I recently moved to Germany, so I'll have to have a look for it here, or just order some in from the UK.
