My bike came with slash pipes. Very loud. Then I found a pair of Hooker Tuned Flow Exhaust on Craigslist. They are not much quieter. Since they did not fit, I attached them into a pipe sleeve that connected to the header on one side and the muffler on the other. Although they seemed tight when I connected them, I can feel exhaust coming out at the connection points. Does that leak affect the volume of noise much? If so, what is the easiest way to tighten them up?
