have you noticed a blowing noise?

it could have a slight leak when cold but once it heats it closes a bit tighter with expansion in the metal?

to be honest if i could not hear a blow then i would not worry about it

i cant hear a blowing noise...must admit the exhaust note has changed to abit more of a tinny sound but i think thats just due to the decat downpipe ive had fitted

I would think its blowing there. a bit of water from the rear on a de-cat is not unusual, I suggest re sealing that joint.

After just washing it? You didn't squirt a load of water down the scoop did you? Check it tomorrow as well
