I call it black RTV. The OEM grommet will set you back $18 and not seal as well.

No , its after the critical section on the pipe.

Exhaust flange leaks are another story...

That's what I though. I just jet it right and not mess with the sucker, It's a pain if you are pulling the subframe as often as I do.

If you are running drooling rich not having it will make quite a mess unless you do some "affro engineering" :lol:

I have an after-market pipe and silencer on my vintage bike and the gap is covered by a simple piece of straight radiator hose and two clamps bought from NAPA downtown San Clemente.
