I have a leak where my magna-flow pipes connect to the outlet of my mufflers. I'm using regular clamps but their not working. Does anybody have a fix for this? I'm not gonna weld them.

try assembling with some copper rtv in the joints, that sould stop the leak and it doesn't mind high temperature.

Do you think I could get it back apart after that? Maybe there is some asbestos cloth that I could wrap around the outlet before I slide the pipe on?

RTV wont hard seal. It should come apart easy enough. Either pull it apart or just run a razor knife around the seal. I wouldnt recommend asbestos...can you even get that stuff anymore?

:EDIT: Now that I think about it I dont know if RTV would hold up against the pressure of the exhaust...it may just blow right through it I just had my Magnaflows welded on...

I guess expanding them would be the way to go.
