hey guys just put my slp headers on a couple days ago on my 99 trans am. My driverside collector is leaking. I used a band clamp i think its called to fasten it to the y pipe.... didnt wanna weld it. What are some options to fix this problem? Can i keep driving it in the mean while? its my DD

I used aluminum tape as a temporary fix, just take the clamp off and either wrap where it meets with aluminum tape or coat around each side with red RTV and replace the clamp. I used aluminum tape because it's less messy.
