My pipes leak at the flange on the motor what can i do to fix this.Is there orings or something that goes there.

the o-rings inside your pipes are probly worn, or you dont have any period. right inside of the pipe there is a groove where an o-ring should be, if they are warn replace them. also, some people run an extra o-ring between the pipes and cylinders for a little better seal.

Ok thank you.This site is the shit.

What year are your pipes? My are the older edition and they have no place for an oring to sit in the flange. I use the orange RTV that is made for high high heat and put a bead in the flange before installing. Its the RTV with copper in it. It does a pretty good job.

I have an old PT pipe on my ATC-R and I run a bead of copper RTV around the flange before pushing the pipe on. I have never had any problems with an exhaust leak (the stock honda flange is notorious for leaking).

 

The o-ring or RTV on the flanges will probably do the trick. :thumbsup:
