    Hey everyone, I put a set of 7 inch from the T up and from the T to the elbow I wrapped it with header tape and silicone The other joints I just used high heat silicone and they seem to leak still. Not sure if its the silicone stain conning down or what. Anyways is there another trick out there? Thanks guys!

    So you used header tape to repair the exhaust leaks at the tee and elbows? That #### is made to keep exhaust heat in the pipes from radiating outward. Period. I say get some better clamps and don’t use a step clamp on a radius. My secret is some muffler cement at the joints.
