I found a fix quite some time ago to the leaking exhaust issues.  Here is a post describing what I did:

Main points:
  Don't use the orange RTV sealant - use the high quality grey stuff, it's rated to higher temperatures
  Use the KTM vitron o-rings 
  PTFE tape around where the flanges slide in may also help
Mine haven't leaked since following this method.  Hope this helps.
