Muffler fitment

[hellrazor]

Hey guys
Just put A new muffler on my rev mx - a slip on.
It's about 1/2 - 1mm fatter in inlet diameter than the pipe - so when i rev it slides back a touch.
What do people do to secure the muffler to the pipe? The bracket holding the muffler on needs to be tighter im guessing??

Cheers in advance
Cal

Yeh get a tighter bracket and seal the pipe to the muffler with some high temp silicone

Better than silicone, is a drill, and 2 tek screws (self drilling self tapping screws), drill 2 holes in the pipe and muffler, drill in screws, done.

They are slip on for a reason. Screws are bodgy and wont seal it up either.

Yeah bodgy tek screws wont close up 1mm or even 1/2mm gap all the way round the pipe, Hope you dont do too many of these DIY mods to your bike Cloud?

Lots of big bikes use a proper muffler gasket sleeve where the header pipe meets the muffler pipe, Maybe you could find one the right size?

If both the pipe & muffler fitting are steel get someone to tack weld it on the bike to get it sitting in the right position then take it off & weld it all the way round, Not the best option but would work
