Slip on merge collector leak! How do I fix it. Ok so I picked up a set of the Edelbrock stepped headers (used) they have the slip on mere collectors welded on and the middle of the primaries the aren't welded because its almost impossible to get a welder in there. I didn't think they would leak maybe a little if at all being that they slip on. But they are both leaking pretty bad on both sides. Making my car run horribly rich as expected.
How do I fix this?!

How about something like this that you could put in there? http://www.cotronics.com/vo/cotr/ca_metallic.htm It's a high temp ceramic adhesive.

Yeah I was thinking of something like that but have no idea if it would last or not.
Im going to head down to my exhaust guy tommorow and see if he can weld them up any better then the previous owner, and maybe he'll have some other suggestions.
