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.
