Hello ever1, I mounted my exhaust pipes yesterday and today when I went to remove the baffles I noticed that the pipes are leaking. I don't understand why. I've tighten up the bolts around where the 2 pipes connect to each others. there are no holes in the pipes. No space left between them but still, fuckin petrol coming out.
Any idea.
here is a video of it, by the end it starts leaking quite badly.

Update: only 1 exhaust pipe works

thanks for your help.

as you can see in the video I've posted it's mainly coming out between the the link of the 2 pipes under my seat.
I don't get it, cause I've tighten them a lot.. probably more then is necessary..

Fire gum, another exhaust clamp and a baked bean can are your friends.

Have you let the liquid drip on your finger and given it a sniff? Is it water or petrol?

As Chris said, if it's water I wouldn't worry

It's water which condenses on the inside of the pipes until they warm up , and then the water will escape as steam. Every gallon of petrol burned produces one gallon of water. You can see it on a cold morning with cars running on the choke, the water pouring out the end of the exhaust pipe till the choke comes off and the exhaust warms up.
don't worry about it
