You've got baffles in your exhaust that were fresh and clean when you first got the bike that are probably getting deadened by unburnt fuel / oil that's getting stuck to them .... like fat in your arteries. It's no big deal.

I find exhaust leaks sound more like "crack crack crack"... your exhaust gets a lot louder sounding.

Are you are referring to the sound of the exhaust? Have you noticed any difference in performance?

I hve noticed very slight difference in performance but I cant tell if its psychological or not. I feel like im lagging little off the line.
