Exhaust leak at crossover.
 
Anyone else have an exhaust leak at the crossover? The female end has slots cut in it where it slides over the male end and it's leaking out of there.

Check the torque on that clamp, it maybe a little loose.

it's tight. It seems like the male end doesn't go in far enough to get passed the cuts in the female end.

It's in warranty. Why not take it to your dealer?

I will. Just curious if others were having the same problem or this may lead to other owners figuring out they have a leak also.

Only about 5% exhaust going out that side anyway so I say roll on with it, LoL

Not an exhaust leak but I've been hunting for a rattle at certain rpm's for 5000 miles, lol. Well, the metal support bracket at the crossover pipe is an afterthought apparently. Metal on metal and loose enough when tightened to cause a rattle when the pipe vibrates against it. I shimmed it with a washer to tighten it on the pipe and noise is gone. Will figure out how to rubber coat it now that I've found the source.
Does everyone have this problem? What's different about this clamp on my RK?

Rattle
 
I have the same rattle on my '17 RK. It drove me crazy until I found the cause. As soon as the pipes warm up, the rattle goes away. If it's still rattling at 5K, I'll have the dealer address it.
