Default Need help with Exhaust leak on my new micron exhaust for my 04 gsxr-600

I just got my micron bolt on exhaust for my 04 suzuki gsxr-600 today and i tightened all the bolts up and i started the motorcycle up and i couldnt hear any leaks but i put my finger around were the exhaust and the muffler connect and there seems to have a little air leak and i was wondering what i could put between the exhaust and the muffler to stop the leak. Like what kind of sealant any help would be great thanks

Post a pic if possible...

I sure someone around here can help you out...

No too familiar with "bolt-ons"... but it can't be too complicated.

you can maybe try some RTV (high temp silicone)its used for like headers and gaskets. i think they might make a clear kind so it wont be noticable. any one can call me out if thats a dumb idea but i think its your best bet. good luck.
