Any home remedies for exhaust leaks

[Goody05]

I'm haveing an odd exhaust leak on both sides of the Xpipe meeting the manifolds, I have them both as tight as possible. It is a pypes Xpipe it does have the slip in sleaves. Are there any home remedies that I can try to get rid of the leak?

Welding it is the best thing probably.

I recall posts discussing the need to replace the manifold studs to allow the midpipe to be pulled tighter to the manifold. A quick search should pull those up.

im having the same issue with my 2012 and i also have the pypes setup its driving me nuts, i tighten them up within 2 or 3 hours thier lose already. ive called pypes and they said to use red locktite on the bolts, but i did that and it didnt work. my mechanic used the bolts provided with the pypes headers.

I'm a douche and didn't read. I didn't catch that it was leaking at the manifolds. I continually have trouble with mine leaking at the next joint downstream.
