i bought a esr trx5 pipe and silencer for my 250r and where the exhaust mets the exhaust flange i have a small exhaust leak. it seems like the pipe doesnt sit on there like it should. will buying the aftermarket esr exhaust flange fix this? is this a common problem (year-86)? and how should i go about fixing this?

 

the search function works great.

thats not what i am talking about. i know how to seal up a pipe to an exhaust flange. where the pipe mets the exhaust flange it doesnt sit tight at the bottom of the flange. it sit crooked on the flange.

 

then your pipe is mounted incorrectly, or wasn't made correctly. I had to fight with my ESR pipe a bit to get it to mount here correctly..different length spacers in the front motor mount and what not.
