Quat D midpipe- what's the cloth for? and gasket question.S2R1K

[J.P.]

Checked everywhere, TOB, translated the instructions, ...
It's a small piece of heat insulating cloth, came in the hardware bag. The pipes went on as expected, some leakage at the horizontal port- does the cloth go in there? I noticed the pipe is a smaller OD than stock, and a looser fit to the engine exhaust port.
Already bent the flange piece trying to tighted it- is there a gasket I can try? Thanks!JP.

i believe the cloth is to wipe your tears away when nothing fits!!

I used liquid gasket to try to seal everything up... any auto parts store should have it

Did you use the two clamps that came with the kit? I have one for my bike, and used the two clamps that came with the pipe on the two header joints. No leakage that I can detect. I wondered what the cloth was for myself but couldn't figure it out. The instructions translated make no mention of them. Dunno what the zip ties are for either.

[J.P.]

Used up all parts except the cloth and zip ties(they are for the lambda sensor wires, but I didn't bother installing the thing). Got the leaks stopped w/ alittle adjusting. Still alittle too room-ie in the header to port area for me and the pipe flange lip is too small for the securing plate(?)- but it all works and looks(sounds) good.
Know where I can get a copper bushing for in there?

I think Fromario has it figured out.
