DOW CORNING high temp silicone sealant.
Used for sealing up gas heating flues and parts on furnaces etc expensive but bloody good.
The silicone is red and smells like vinegar |

Hi Moto,
How did you go about securing the rear of the pipe? Have you tried securing it via the chain tensioner?
I've got the same long pipe, which looks great, but acquires perpetual leaks from the front gasket...probably from vibrations. I haven't yet found a satisfactory way of securing the rear section adequately.
P.S. Watch out! The muffler gets way hot and is easy to brush against.
Steve

here's what I did to secure the muffler when I extended it. 
Basically just used 2 of the little brackets for the bottom of the CDI, one of the CDI bolts, and 2 of the nuts. Plus a hose clamp. |

Steve | Hey Steve,
Actually I haven't secured it yet. I have some of the soft metal strapping that was sent with the kings kit. I have a place before the muffler I'm looking at. I'll upload a pic when I decide on it.

Seeing your exhaust motivated me to fab an exhaust for my sisters bike. I used 3/4 inch poopoo pipe also..outside diameter is the same but inside diameter is a bit narrower. I cut up the factory exhaust below the bend and before the muffler and bent the pipe to fit using a model-4 bender. I welded a tab to attach to the coaster brake arm mount... The bike does vibrate more... I ran the bike without the muffler...it was too loud and a bit slower. Welded on the stock muffler and it was much better... seemed a bit faster but not as fast as before...more back pressure and all...atleast no more oil flying onto the bike...everything flies out the back...still need to paint and wrap the pipe. Next exhaust will be closer to the frame... my sis hates when I use her bike as the guinea pig |

Steve | Ok I secured the muffler to the frame with a hose clamp by the pedals. It's very rigid now... And hardly even noticeable. And that is my quest, less is more...
Tonight after my ride I'm going to seal it up tight with muffler patch and hopefully that will end any issues with the muffler.

Looks good, but even better if you have the ability to bend it to follow the contours of the frame.
