Blew exhaust gasket

I installed a thick exhaust gasket from Dax and it blew out in only a month. The bike seems to be a lot quicker, though, with all that exhaust bypassing the muffler. Any problem just using some gasket maker in a tube?

You'll want something that will withstand 1000 degrees F.

Several layers of aluminum foil will work in a pinch.

Use a old school VolksWagen heat riser gasket!

Way cool I've used the foil in a pinch. What does the heat riser look like I mean does it have a matching bolt pattern . That would be the bomb then

Usually there are a pair of these in a muffler replacement kit but (clamps, gaskets and hardware) Anyone who has a dual carbs on their old aircooled VW probably wouldn't need them. So there are usually plenty of these around in an aircooled VW shop. I am sure I have several. Good quality too.

Check out these copper ones, MANIC Mechanic Parts.htm ,under miscellaneous.

im lucky my kit form gasbike.net came with 2 of everything,extra gaskets,studs,mounts,sparkplugs,caps,chain link,idle set screw,

make a gasket out of something(rubber) and use gasket maker.

You don't mean rubber on the exhaust do you. It will never take the heat. Not for long anyway.

i picked some stuff up at advanced auto for 5 bucks it came in a roll .i think its some kind of fiber. i cut up three gaskets ,put them together and have not had a problem yet.i'll try to see if i can find a link.
