[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 6804, member: 456"] I'm with Tnecniv on this. Consider that the distance from the front port to the exhaust fitting at the rear of the long pipe where it fastens to the footrest plate is more than or about the same as the distance from that fitting to the end of the silencer. Treat the fastening as a pivot and one gets about a 1 : 1 ratio. Two thou at the front gives two thou at the back. If I am wrong then where does the extra leverage come from? As an aside I never use that fastening and in fact on the Armours pipes had to saw it off as it was in the wrong place and wrong angle. Instead I use a nice solid clamp over the silencer to exhaust pipe joint (Vinparts supply such a clamp) and use a little clear silicone mastic in the joint as well. I only realized just how heat resistant this mastic is when I was helping a friend who races a sidecar. During the interval/rebuild which occurs during many sidecar events it was a revelation to see people putting their exhaust pipes back in after cylinder head removal with this normal builders material. At the cylinder head it might only last a few races but at the silencer end it seems to still act as a seal after years of use. [/QUOTE]
