klx250sf exhaust leaks

I just installed a big gun evo slip on my 2010 250sf. the stack exhaust clamp just doesnt seem to tighten enough to seal the pipe completly. Any suggestions?

Did you put a exhaust gasket on it?

A good coat of high temp silicone as you slide it together, let it dry before you start it might do the trick, I use it on all exhaust's I do.

To linkin5's point, definitely apply a lot of high temp silicone (you can always clean it up later) and let it set for a while. IMO, 24-hours.
