No clamp on White Bro's E2?

[alping45]

I just installed a new white bro's E2 slip on and was very suprised to see that it is meant to be just a slip fit attatchment with no clamp securing it to the head pipe. I figured it must be ok, but when I put it on it really wasn't that tight and I could feel a little bit of slack in the fit. I can also feel a very very faint burst of gas if I put my hand above the joint when I rev the motor. Is this ok? I just don't feel comfortable about this. I may fabricate a bushing to go over it so that I can use the stock clamp(its too big for the E2 pipe) to secure the joint. Has anyone had any trouble/experience with this? Any suggestions or input?

i havent done anything with mine and it runs fine. you can see where it leaks a tiny bit but it doesnt seem to affect anything

I think the stock clamp sucks. But, when I got my e-series, the clamp was also too big. So, we got a peice of sheet metal, curled it untill it went around the header about a time and a half and got the clamp over. It is a huge pain the the butt, but once you get it, it works great! You can make it so you don't ever even have to see it!

my E2 is the same way. i took a wiz wheel and cut slits in the pipe where it's flanged to fit over the head pipe and put a stainless T bolt clamp on it. it still leaks a little bit but not as much.

Ok, well I guess I will just run it like it is until I get some spare time then I will take some measurements and fabricate an aluminum or brass bushing at work(I'm a machinist) so that I can just use the stock clamp on it.
