ok....on your cr...1998.... what holds ur header to your block, on mine i have just two springs that hold it inside the flange, it looks like there should be something else because it looks like theres oil or something leaking out or exaust leak...and where the end or the header meets the exuast they had a rubber looking hose connecting the pipes together...anyone help thanks

The two springs are the only thing that holds the expansion chamber to the jug. There is a gasket between where the header meets the jug and it sounds as if yours is split or damaged. It would remove the expansion chamber and check this situation out...

ok...so where the flange goes to the block...? with the three bolts may need a new gasket..? is that what your saying...? now what about where the end of the header meets the tail pipe...?what goes there they guy i bought it of had rubber hose

thers a gasket that goes between the flage and the cylinder , get some exhaust tape sealent , you can get it at a bike shop its awesome stuff and wrap it around the flange before you slip the pipe back on , as for where the pipe goes into the silencer you could order the correct gasket from Honda or you could just find a piece of rubber hose at the auto parts store and slip it over the joint and put a hose clamp on each side and your done.

thanks...buddy....so keep the flange on there and rap it ,where the flange is to the header to make it leak free...?

 

[mxdj666]

yup , but just use that exhaust tape sealent you get at the bike shop , its the only thing that will last. good luck man

 

[dansdr125]

thanks buddy...

You don't "need" the hose that goes between the muffer and the expansion chamber. You'll leak a little oil on your air box, but this is strictly cosmetic.

so then...?what u put there to connected the end of the header to the exhaust pipe...?
