Ever since I got my TOR high mount can (a year ago) I have a small leak in the adapter piece that goes between the end of the headers and the new can. I have tried everything to eliminate the leak but to no avail. I get it to stop for a while but it always returns!!!!!!!!!!! :hammer: Doesn't seem to hinder performance, except I can hear it (at idle) and the bike does "pop" more on decel when the leak appears.

I have used (and used and used) silicone RTV gasket maker, and have even tried cutting out pieces of coke cans and wrapping the pipes prior to re-installation, but in the end a leak always re-appears!!!!

Any suggestions short of having a new adapter piece made?????? All suggestions welcome!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance guys!!!

Ken
