Where abouts is it blowing? You shouldn't have a clamp on the joint where the Manifold meets the centre section only on the centre section to backbox. Unless the VTS exhaust is different to mine, then I'm not sure.

i have sorted it.... sanded it all down new putty.. the clamp wasnt on staight meaning it was blowing a fair bit the exhuast sounds 50x better now... easy job thanks for the advice

it was the joint after the cat mate that was blowing

For sure - have to sort out a little masterclass !

If you have some spare £££ I can recommend the halfords professional tool kit, around £100 and it has everything you'd pretty much need for doing jobs !
