rinehart install
I installed rinehart true duals last night. The instructions call for a bead of high temp silicone where the pipes and mufflers connect.I Let it cure overnight. Started bike this mornin and the o ring of silicone blew out the mufflers on both sides. Am I now going to have an exhaust leak ? Anyone else experience this, and what do I do?

RE: rinehart install
I have installed a few sets of Rineharts, and have never used the high temp silicone. Never had a leak either, just tighten the clamps good and you'll be all set.
All the silicone does is make a mess, don't waste your time using it.

Installed my Reinharts and have had them off and on several times and have never used silicon. Not sure when they changed there instructions. Just tighten and ride as others have suggested.
