FWIW - mine does not have the crossover, no locking nut, has clamps and MAC
fishtail exhaust.
no problems so far.
but one of the macs did not quite fit on one of the headers and would move a
bit. that would move the header beyond the clamp. I shimed and sealed the
poor fit and the exhaust sits firm. I would suggest you ensure that as well.

I was having a similar problem. A friend asked what direction I hadthe seam on the gasket, towards the motor or away. I had never paidattentionto this & did not believe it would make a difference, but I was aboutreadyto pull my hair out so I tried it. I had to look very close but there isaseam where the copper is rolled around, I put the seam facing away fromthemotor, problem solved.
