How do you install the Crossover Pipe? What am I doing wrong?
I replaced my crossover gasket and clamp. My Crossover is still leaking. What am I doing wrong?
I put the clamp on the pipe first, gasket onto the header, then slide the crossover onto the gasket/header. Then torque the clamp to 30ft-lb.
When I look at new touring model at the dealer it seem like the clamp almost flush to the end of the pipe and crossover it over the header shoulder.
I have been check my exhaust system for leaks when cold by spraying the exhaust first with soapy water, Then using a glove and covering the muffler opening. Then I see bubble blowing from the connection.

Have you driven it to see if you still have the popping? A leak, big enough to get the popping, will be apparent without using soapy water, imo. I had popping on my 02 and it was at the small crossover on stock pipe by the clutch cable inlet, the pipe had rotted through so I put on a take off set of head pipes I got from a friend-- popping gone. My bike had over 50k when that happened though.
