Another thing to check is to make sure the clamps are not slid back so far that the y do not close the pipe in the slotted area. keep them close to the end of the pipe/cat delete so the close the pipe.

Never found an exhaust paste that worked( they all dry out & disintegrate with the heat. I had that leak problem with the cat delete on my old exhaust set up, & solved it by buying a couple of exhaust clamps & making a large shim, from a used tin can.

I installed a 2" muffler clamp along with the original clamp and I think this combo may do it,, however I still get decell pop under 2000rpm. the dealer told me previosly that the pop was due to the exhaust leak... go figure:?

Ask him why ?
I dont have an exhaust leak and get popping this never happened with stock exhaust and cat actually I think the bike was probably just as fast with all standard
I only replaced exhaust because it was starting to rust and cat box was cracked I dont think I would change anything if I had a new bike again unless of course it was to put a silverback kit in.
I think I would buy some new gaskets and some correct size stainless toggle clamps and have another go the exhaust paste is a good
short term fix but job is best done right
also being Scottish the fosters can is probably cheaper and more readily available than gaskets so I might try that first good hardware store will have toggle clamps
