Exhaust leak
Take a leak on it, that will reveal the leak.

What I have the originals. I have a tri-piper so I would need four. I'm suspect because the bike seems to have gotten noisier.
 
The shop in Knoxville must have done a great job on my Viking install since I have no leaks. The pipe works and sounds great.
 
Your bike HAS gotten louder. If you recall, I asked if you changed something last weekend because it was louder.

I would bet the packing is breaking down though. A leak will sound sort of like an engine miss

We can check them next time we go out. The pipes are TORs and they were new when I installed them.
 
I had some sealing issues with my stock bike with stock header, and my Viking Header, both were solved by throwing away the old used factory gaskets and scrounging some alloy ones "the banned one" had laser cut. Cleaned ports out well, fitted Viking gaskets and instant seal on both bikes.
