Toce head pipe mis-aligned

[DeplorableOne]

I've had my exhaust for a few years so I'm not sure exactly when this started, but the front head pipe with the oval/round adapter is not aligned correctly and has a leak. I've replaced the gasket twice already thinking that was the issue. Had the dealer look but since it's aftermarket they just blamed it on the exhaust and tried to sell me a new factory replacement. I finally had time to pull it all apart today to check it out. Not sure if at some point it warped or if it's always been this way, but it's now a pretty bad leak. If I replace the gasket it goes away for a few months and comes back. Also going to try and reach out to Toce and see what they think

I've heard nothing but good things about Toce's customer service, I'd start there.

Been back and forth for a minute. They're thinking they might need to make me a one off to replace the front pipe. I've gotten it to stop leaking by replacing the gasket again, but getting tired of dropping $50 every few months when the thing starts leaking again. They were very responsive just waiting on a decision of what they think will be best way to handle it.

Always happy to hear when a vendor is willing to work with one of us. Too many make a sale and don’t GAF about you after.

Just wanted to update this. Toce went above and beyond. Rather than create a one off of the front head pipe, to replace what I had. Which is #64 of their first run of FTR exhausts, they sent me the complete new system. So I now have their new system. I did not expect a new system and was really only asking for some help on getting it to line up, or possibly a replacement front pipe. Like I said they went above and beyond I can't say enough good things about them taking care of this the way they did.

Leave them a google review! they are trying to make a bigger impression in google. But Justin and Dan are top notch

Also new system is throatier, deeper burble, or it's just not leaking anymore and there is no more tick tick tick from the leak

Probably Due to a freshly packed muffler.

You can't beat a freshly packed muffler.

Which if I’m not mistaken, you can send yours back to them and they repack it for free since they have a lifetime warranty.
