    Hello

    I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of a Titanium Race-Tech Arrow exhaust with carby (carbon-fibre) end tip for my 2014 VFR800. I've noticed in reading other posts for slip-ons that some arrive with sealant. I've also read, spoken to other riders who mention the use of gaskets etc. I am unable to find info on Arrow's website, so here goes:

    Do I need any other material in order to properly install this slip-on? Do I need a sealant or lubricant, etc.? Do I need any additional gaskets?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in Advance!

    My Race-Tech (I have the alloy with stainless end but essentially the same) seals just fine without gasket or sealant. All the bits required were in the box but I replaced the clamp with a Mikalor stainless 47-51mm and changed the bolt for stainless too because it's a bit of a rust trap down there. (the bolt is M7 45mm so an unusual size but worth doing).
