TSP ORY exhaust clamp leaks?

TSP ORY exhaust clamp leaks?
So, I got most of the exhaust clamps to seal on my TSP ORY, but the clamps on each header collector are leaking a little. The ticking is just pissing me off, and I've tried heat cycle tightening them but they still leak. Would high temp sylicone work to seal the leak or what? Any other suggestions? For some reason this kind of stuff always happens to my car , and not my dad's which has the same set up. Thanks

I have the same problem with my tsp ory. It leaks in the same area, I just keep tightening it down whenever I notice a leak. I read that you can pick up some aluminum tape at home depot to wrap around it. Or get some high temp rtv to seal it up. I havent tried either, but Iam going to as soon as it starts leaking again.

I have a set of Jet Hot LT's and ORY with 3" wide band clamps connecting everything together and when I put my hand under the band clamps I can feel the exhaust leaking out like crazy. No matter how tight they are, the same result occurs. I brought it to my local exhaust shop today to see what they could do. I'm wondering what they'll say?

Don't let them weld it directly to the headers. I havn't had any clamps leak here (band clamps sometimes do), but since they are after the O2 sensors, some high-temp silicone would work fine. I have silicone all over my turbo mustang exhaust with no leaks and you know that kinda exhaust runs very hot.
