HELP! Exhaust leak

[IH8RICE2]

I have a leak between my xpipe and catback. I've rotated the the flanges and moved the connecting pipe and it still leaks. I have water dripping out between the connection. Can i put some kind of liquid gasket around it or something. This is really pissing me off. Any help would be great. Thanks guys/gals.

hmmmm i think that is just condensation dripping out of there i have it too it normal and i have my connections tight with no exhaust leak can you hear the exhaust scaping form there???

Well i can feel some air coming out of it. I think i might try some silicone gasket. Any ideas? thanks

I would try some high temp RTV as an easy quick fix.

I used some high temp RTV last week when I did my exhaust. No parts store around here had a gasket so I had to reuse the old one with some RTV. So far so good.

So this rtv stuff is like silicone? Do i put it in the connection or just around the outside. Thanks everyone for the help.

It is like a glue substance when you use it, but dries into a silicone type seal. I would apply a bead on the ends of your mid pipe & catback. Then once you have tightened the exhaust add another tiny bead around the joint for good measure.
