When replacing your exhaust, it's a good idea to replace the crush gaskets where the head-pipe meets the cylinder head. Some pipe manufacturers include gaskets with their systems, some don't. They run less than $10 each and Yamaha's Part # is 3EG-14613-00-00. You should be able to get them from your dealer, or online. If you can't find them let me know.

Replacing these gaskets when replacing your pipes will help avoid those small exhaust leaks that cause popping on decel , and other annoying problems...

if the yamaha place is closed or just to far away go to auto zone and ask for a crush gasket part#85001 its the same diameter just a little thicker witch should help it seal. and there only about a dollar

Replaced gaskets when installing the V&H on my VTX. Was forewarned about the outrageous price for OEM so picked up an exact match from Midas for about $1.25 each.
I gotta think we should be able to do the same with the Raider!
