Default Exhaust slip-joint leaks

I don't know if this is common to all SB Cobra replicas or just BDR's, but the slip joints in my headers, both sides, are leaking, starting to make ugly noises, and are shooting soot all over the place.

They are spring-loaded and appear to be intact and tight.

Is there a retrofit O-ring set I can install to at least calm this problem down?

I understand why the slip joints exist, and that engine/sidepipe flex and having less than 500 miles on #139 come together to stress the joint.

Suggestions?

Sorry, Boudy, sadly, is off my screens, probably permanently.

Thanks.

UT
