Make sure threads on clamp are lubed and tighten also you can make slit on female pipe a little longer to give a tighter clamp. I coat my donut gasket with high temp silicone before installation also.

Yepper... hi-temp silicone... let it dry overnight.

I'll give the silicone a try first. Is the donut gasket the same as what No Magic Neon shipped me with the mid-pipe? Also, how and where do I apply the silicone?
Thanks again!

Should be the round cylindrical gasket paint it on inner surface with your finger, rubber gloves are nice but not a must if gasket is oily wipe with mineral spirits and let dry first. assemble and as stated before let dry overnite. I like Permatex ultra copper high temp silicone available any auto parts store

What about between the exhaust and the mid-pipe, there is no gasket, just the two pipes and the clamp. Is that something I should go out and buy a gasket for?
Side night, I have a motorcycle ride I'm orchestrating tonight, is it safe to ride tonight with the small leak?
Thanks so much
Cheers,
Brandon

That's where you need the silicone... both ends of the mid-pipe. And no, a small leak will only bother you... not hurt the bike... it could, if bad and over a long time, but one night... small.... ride it.
