Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is it important to replace exhaust springs when doing a rebuild?
A: Exhaust springs lose tension over time due to high heat and vibration. Weak springs may not hold the pipe firmly against the cylinder, leading to leaks even if the gasket is new.

Q: Do I need to use gasket sealant with this kit?
A: In most cases, these gaskets are designed to seal without extra adhesive. However, a thin layer of high-temp exhaust silicone can be helpful on some 2-stroke joints to ensure a perfect seal against vibration.

Expert Pro-Tip: When installing your exhaust, always tighten the header bolts in an alternating pattern to ensure even pressure on the gasket. For 2-stroke machines like the KDX, also check your silencer mounts—if the silencer is loose, it will vibrate and put unnecessary stress on the exhaust header gasket, causing it to fail prematurely.
