Bought a 31k yesterday and its blowing from the microns, before I strip it is there anyone who can tell me what I need to change that gasket set or oring, any advice or where I can get them would be a help.

They are usually just the standard copper ring gaskets - with some high-temp silicon to seal. The end of the exhaust has a double skin which goes over the flange (ooooo eeerrr missus) this also needs some silicon on it. Leave the silicon to go off overnight and cross your fingers :-)

No gasket where the springs attach.

Shouldn't blow from the slip joint.
Welll at least nothing that can't easily be rag wiped off after a ride.
Maybe your new pipes are full of cooked oil? Repack the End cans as a start.

I don't think he means fire cement I think he means high temp silicone
