Exhaust gaskets
Did you guys replace the gaskets where the head pipes bolt to the engine, when you changed out your exhaust? They are little meshy gaskets, kind of like steel wool. I did not b/c my bike was only 2 months old and the dealer said I should not need to. However, I am getting ready to install a PCIII and get a dyno tune and I am trying to make sure all other parts of my exhaust system, air intake, etc. are sound.

RE: Exhaust gaskets
get in the habit of doing things the right way...replace the exhaust gaskets with SE or Cometic. I'd use new HD clamps as well. Use to race and did all my own wrench work...purposely threw bearings and plugs away, broke rings and hammered oil seals in case a momentary spell of STUPIDITY came over me. There is never enough money to do it right but always enough to do it over again.

RE: Exhaust gaskets
I went ahead and switched out my gaskets today with the SE gaskets. I guess its better to be on the safe side. My PCIII came in today, so now I just have to get it in to the tuner.
When I installed mine, I pushed them in with my fingers, then gently went all the way around thegasket with a flat head screw driver and just made sure it was snug all the way around.
