When installing the hindle exhaust, do you need to install some kind of gasket or exhaust sealant.

Use the stock exhaust gasket.
No way the stock exhaust gasket is going to work with a Hindle muffler, at least not the Hindles that dltang and I got.

There is no gasket. You have to remove the stock one. I have read of several owners who used sealant to eliminate leaks. Couldn't hurt.

Thats what I thought everybody was doing. So does it come with it's own gasket then?

The dealership I bought my :spyder: from installed the hindle before I took delivery; no sealant.
Yesterday morning I had my :spyder: in for it's 600 mile service and they sealed the pipe connection w/silicone.
I've noticed a substantial increase in power when accelerating since then. Could a leak in the exhaust cause this type of noticeable difference?

Hindles don't come with anything to seal the connection. I believe that is why some people are talking about using a high temp silicone to seal against leaks. I didn't use any sealant but I may try some as I think I have a slight leak.
