[2004gsx-r600]

I just got my micron bolt on exhaust for my 04 suzuki gsxr-600 today and i tightened all the bolts up and i started the motorcycle up and i couldnt hear any leaks but i put my finger around were the exhaust and the muffler connect were the 4 bolts are and there seems to have a little air leak and i was wondering what i could put between the exhaust and the muffler to stop the leak. Like what kind of sealant any help would be great thanks

also is their suppose to be a gasket there to seal it i atached a picture so u can see what i am talking about and were the arrow is pointed its 1 up from there were its leaking and its only leaking on one side thanks again

known problems

Some of the known problems with aftermarket exhaust is some don't come with a new gasket for the new can. You MUST change the gasket or it can or will eventually leak. The other thing is if the company's Quality Control let one get out that won't mount relatively flush from surface to surface. IE the surface of the can mount is flat all the way across on the can and the pipe. This can cause a gap even if the gasket is in place and in good condition. All it takes is a 1 or 2 mm bubble or wave in the mounting surface to cause this. Start with the gasket if it's stock, replace it. While you have it apart, check both mounting surfaces to see if they are completely flat or close enough to be considered flat. Some manufacturers do suggest an aftermarket gasket that is just a bit thicker, so that may be an option too.

A little "gun gum" or other brand exhaust kit can do some miracles, apply before bolting the can on.

tighten the four bolts BEFORE you tighten the exhaust mount.

My best guess is the gasket. Perhaps the stock one doesn't work with the new pipe, or you forgot to put it in (you didn't say, so forgive me if you know this). If the gasket isn't right, your muffler isn't doing much.

The gaskets for the MICRON EXHAUST are available on ebay. Just search for MICRON EXHAUST CANISTER SEALS.
They do them for the round and oval canisters 😊👍
