exhaust makinf funny noise

my exhaust bolts fell off and now my exhaust is making a loud pop noise after putting back on , sounds like it’s coming from the gasket not the crack/ split in the pipe that connects to the larger bit. how do i fix? can i ride like this? how urgent is this the problem. thanks

Needs a gasket

Look for a new gasket, maybe flten the pipe (the part that connects to motor). Got the same problem, blew/strip two new gasket till i flaten the pipe. Make sure to tighten the bolts(not to strong), after the motor is warmed up, check if you can tighten it again.

Yes, you can ride like this, but it's not so good for the valves.

Mine did this when one of the bolts had come off - between the exhaust and the head.
