Im putting the standard can back on my SV650 and wondered how people have successfully joined and sealed the two pipes (theres a 1cm gap between the two)? Ive bought an 80mm link pipe but its really too long and very beefy so probably intended for a car exhaust. Anyway I have my doubts it will seal completely without exhaust paste which I dont really want to use as I will need to put the race can back on from time to time....

alright Ive found Fuel exhausts do a 'reconnection sleeve'. Bit expensive for what it is but should do the job....

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRANVILLE...UAAOSwzFBbR2cJ Note: Goes off real quick on warm days and as soon as you start the bike and the Exhaust heat gets to it. HTH ![]() PS I had to fit a new bit of pipe to and old bit to a Water tap and the olive on one of the compression joints left a slight weep/leak. I used a bit of Granville on it and heated it up with a Hairdryer to go off quick and it worked a treat ![]()

I sealed mine with a little smear of high temperature silicone. I suspect it's not high temperature enough, but even if that's the case the burned remnants are clearly enough to seal the joints. I used the Fuel joiner.

I've also heard of people packing exhaust spaces with kitchen foil. If it blows it out at least silicone can be scraped off and you can try something else.

Also, I'm curious as to what your need is to be swapping between the two exhausts. I wouldn't normally question this as everyone likes different things but you say you will be swapping between the two. If it's about MOTs I would find a different MOT tester, if it's about noise on the road you could fit a DB killer and remove it when going on the track.

Its abroad and here you have to have an official 'E' stamped can (BS isnt valid) everytime you MOT and even then to guarantee no problems the original is best....
