06 R1 + Yosh slip-on exhaust leak

[Rend]

About 2 weeks ago I installed the Yoshimura slip-on exhaust on my 2006 R1.

I'm a newb when it comes to after-market parts so I didn't check for exhaust leaks when I first installed the system. (I know I'm stupid)

I made sure everything lined up and tightened up all of the bolts. I planned on re-tightening the bolts after I rode the bike a few times. I figured the bolts would probably loosen up due to heat and expansion.

Well the other day I was at my older brother's house, (he's a Harley mechanic), and he wanted to hear the exhaust. I started it up and he noticed there was a small leak where the right slip-on meets the y-pipe.

It's not a very big leak, probably about an 1/8".

I just figured the bolts needed tightening. So once I got it home I grabbed the wrenches and started tightening. I started the bike back up and the leak was still there.

I'm not sure how to fix this because I've never installed exhaust on a street bike before.

Can anyone suggest a fix? I thought about putting some metal shim paper in there to see if it helps, but if someone knows a better fix please let me know.

Thanks in advance and sorry for being a newb.

same, brunettes are my weakness.

Thanks for the tip about the silicone. I was doin some research on the forums and it seems a good deal of people on here use the high temp silicone. Do you recommend any certain brand?
