How would you go about fixing this exhaust leak near the muffler?

What would be the best way to seal these joint? Both mufflers are leaking at the front and back. Click for large picture. Some of that exhaust wrap? Copper RTV?

Weld them! you can pay a shop roughly 100 bucks for them to do it, if you don't want to.

Welding is the best solution.

For a temporary fix, you can try using furnace cement or a high temp RTV sealant. Either way, they won't last long.

Thanks for the advice. Contacted my shop that did the header install. Made an appointment for wednesday to have the mufflers welded and they're going to look at the leaky header then too. Their rate is 75 an hour so why not.
