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.

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

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