Tim,
On Larry's FIA (Mr. Potatohead) he had three-bolt flanges welded onto this primary and secondary pipes. Told me he was tired of the leaking from the slip-fit. I may do the same. Regardless how much copper gasket goop I put on the slip-fit, I still get a little bit of exhaust leak noise. Didn't bug me at first, but as time goes on...

You might consider having this done. You might recall that I'm not using the tabs on my headers---I have that stainless clamp on mine. I get less leakage, but I can still hear it a little bit. I think the three-bolt clamps with the donut gasket is a better solution.
