If you can physically wiggle the pipe at the connection point, it's definitely time to replace these seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Should I use high-temp silicone with this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: A very thin smear of high-temp exhaust sealant can help hold the O-rings in place during assembly, but don't rely on silicone to bridge a large gap. The O-rings themselves should provide the primary seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert Pro-Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e When installing the new O-rings, make sure the groove on the exhaust flange is perfectly clean and free of carbon buildup. Carbon is hard and will prevent the new O-ring from seating correctly, leading to a premature leak. A wire brush and some patience here are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/kawasaki-kx85-performance-upgrades-modifications-moto-house-mx\"\u003eKawasaki KX85 Performance Parts \u0026amp; Upgrades\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/kawasaki-2-stroke-dirt-bikes-performance-parts-accessories-moto-house-mx\"\u003eKawasaki 2-Stroke Performance Parts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/premium-motorcycle-chemicals-brake-fluid-bike-wash-coolant-chain-lubes\"\u003ePremium Motorcycle Chemicals \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Moto-House MX, we carry the best brands in motocross and off-road performance.
