Exhaust leak...
I put a "new" decatted header and slip ons on my new 15 Ultra and have a small exhaust leak that I can feel with my hand at the right side muffler connection. I know your supposed to use new clamps, but figured I could get away with it since the bike is new...I've tightened the clamp as far as I can get it and it still has a small leak. Think new clamps will solve my problem? Thanks guys...

I would not use Red RTV sealant, when it most likely says on the package to definitely not use it as a head gasket (I know this is an exhaust gasket and not a head gasket), but is fine as an intake gasket, I am sure it will work but I would not use it.
I would use something like Permatex Ultra Copper #81878, or anything like this that had copper properties in it, if I was using any sealant, but most likely, the problem can be remedied by reinstalling the connections, and properly torqueing the bolts in the correct sequence, this usually fixes it, if not the 81878 should.

That's like repainting it instead of washing it.....
Just sayin'
