Akra slip-on fitting

Mornin' gents,

Need some advice please.

I'll be fitting my Akra slip-on tomorrow and reading through the installation instructions it is unclear how I make a tight seal between the headers and the s-bend link pipe. Would a liberal coating of anti-sieze ceramic paste (or similar) on the inside of the link pipe be sufficient or would a new gasket altogether be a better option or both maybe?

There seems to be differing opinions on a number of websites that I have taken a look at depending on the make and the model and I couldn't find one for a 2010 Fireblade.

Thanks in advance for any input.

 

I didn't use any thing on mine, just tightened the clamp up no blowing

 

Have you seen these instructions? http://az79640.vo.msecnd.net/akrapovicbppmultimedia/ce4a3dd58b994f7e9e850253ebadeb9e.pdf

Just push together and tighten the clamp - I don't think there would be any room for a gasket.

 

Thanks Cbrjay. I'll do the same and see how I get on.

Thanks Ian E. I've got the more upto date ones tbh but thanks for the link anyway. Just thought that as there is a gasket in the stock silencer there should be one on the aftermarket one too. Seems to me that a tight clamp will do the job just fine.
