broke the spring on my brand fuckin' new tbr slip on. think they would send me a new one. still have the other one in place, think i need to worry about it at all? also there is a slight air leak, and i mean i have to search for it, where my s bend connects to the stock exhaust, is this ok or should i seal this shit with more high temp sealant. pipe sounds amazing. i have a boy with a hindle, and m4 and a d&d and they all say mine sounds like a real bike should. so i recommend tbr. thanks 6r's

Did you break the spring during install? Just give the m a call, I'm sure they would hook you up. I would go and buy some more sealant and reseal the whole connection. After I goofed the first time, the second time was easy (I forgot to pull the graphite sleeve out of the stock pipe and the sealant dried on me).

hey mred did you take it apart and reinstall with the sleeve or just put more sealant on it to seal it up? im hesitant to take it off cause i think i might have stripped the bolt a little and dont wana fuck with it. think ill be ok or should i say fuck it and take it apart and put the sleave in this time?

Did the new pipe have 2 slots cut in it at the end (for tightening so the pipe would hold for a tight fit)? Did you already crank down on it? If so, and you want to use the sleeve, you will also have to find a way to make the pipe end (S bend) bigger to accept it for re-mount. I tried at first without it, and it didn't seem right. Then I saw the sleeve stuck in the stock pipe that I had just taken off. I reused the sleeve, and the sealant. I would think it's a must. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
