anybody help me please  , i recentl bought a simmi end can for my fazer, is the link pipe sposed to be a smaller hose then the standard one and do you still need a silencer gasket as it seems very tight without it, is it because its still on standard downpipes or doesnt it matter. seriously starting to wind me up trying to get this bastarding can on thinking about getting my matches out!!!!!

Hi,yeah sometimes they make the link pipe smaller,if its a tight fit then you wont need any gasket,the clamp should make a decent seal.

yep after market cans rarely use a gasket on the link pipe. should be a tight fit.

hi cheers even without gasket its tight fit but its still blowing and i cant get it tight enough or get a gasket in and i dont really wana gum gum it to death!

[mcyoungy]

push it on further. you have a clamp around it? you can use some clear silicone sealant on the join to help seal it.

try some exhaust paste, my Diversion 900 has the same problem passed its mot,as long as its not too bad i wouldn't worry too much

The joys of aftermarket fitment Try some copperslip on the link pipes, that may help with the tight fit. don't worry about the gasket, mine hasn't one either, does blow a tad, but not much to worry about.
Hope this helps.

Had the same problem with a  link pipe i bought a few years back was a bas"*rd to fit as it was far to tight,in the end i had to cut along the slots on it and bend them outwards, pushed the link pipe on bent it back in and tightened the clamp never blew one bit job done.

cheers for all the advice ill try and sort it this weekend and hopefully get it sorted, if not then back to the matches

failing that ,
try cutting a slot down the pipe  by about 25mm.
this should make it easier to fit.
and clamp it tight!
