Fitted a lovely Yoshi rs9 exhaust to my little Msx
I have a problem though, it's leaking what looks like oil. I can see it's coming from Inbetween the clamp and the header pipe, is this normal?

It's condensation mixed with soot by the looks of it. Check there isn't a drain hole in the bottom of the black part of the exhaust it could be coming from in which case this is relatively normal (although it seem like a lot!) If it is definitely coming from the join I'd suggest the clamp might need tightening, can you feel any gas escaping from it?

Personally I'd flip the clamp over and rotate it 90degrees CCW for aesthetics and practicality too Thumbs Up

This ^^

Did you use any exhaust paste/silicone on the join?

IVE FIXED SOMETHING RATHER THAN BREAK IT!!!





basically ~~ me being me, I didn’t follow the instructions and decided to go with the wind. When I fitted the yoshi, I was really annoyed because my brand new tail tidy didn’t fit. So after hours of being annoyed and blaming everybody else for my yoshi and tail tidy not fitting, it came to me like beaming light. I. Forgot. To. Put. On. The. Spacer.

So I undone the exhaust, and put in the spacer which obviously makes the exhaust come out at a slight angle. So all I had to do after was re adjust the clamp, obviously when the exhaust was moved it fit into the header much better or something.

All trials and tribulations at the end of the day, I’m just glad I didn’t end up throwing the bugger over the fence like I threatened so many times.
