Scratch -

I used to be able to shoot some pretty neat flames out my side pipes.

I took the pipes off and individually tweaked the fit of each pipe to the collector. I bought short exhaust adapter sections at an auto supply (1-7/8" to 2.0", 2.0" to 2.25") and used them to tweak the collector pipe by pounding them onto the end with a rubber mallet. This allowed me to very slightly open up or tighten up each joint as needed. Then, just before final assembly, I wipe the inside of the female pipe with orange Hi-Temp Silicone sealant. A lot of work, but, it worked for me.

Good luck,
