Question need some help with exhaust flanges

hey guys i need some help with some flanges for my tsp ory.
no matter what i do it still leaks so im going to have it all welded at the colectors from my lt's back then cut it at 3 places and install some sort of flanges to remove it if i have to and i think by going this way it it will seal better.
give me some options on what i should use.
thanks guys

If you can afford them, nothing seals better and takes up less room than V band clamps. The kit comes with 2 flanges, each gets welded to the end of the pipes and then a clamp to cinch them together. They aren't cheap though. Ball and socket type flanges work fine too, but take up more room.
