I tried re positioning the pipes today, made it even worse. I don't think RTV or putty will work because the collectors move around the joint. I think that's why my RTV didn't hold.
I could try using both the donut type clamp and the bolts.
Another thing I may try is sanding down the joints to make sure they're perfectly smooth. It's frustrating because the truck is running well aside from this.

If all else fails, cut that joint off and weld on flanges for a V-band clamp and it'll never be a problem again.
Yup. Only reason I am resisting now is because they're Kooks. It's not supposed to be this way with the "quality" stuff LOL.
If they were the cheaper stuff I would have hacked them up already.
ARH ball sockets look the same to me on these headers though.

I've not done that many custom exhausts. But these joints are supposed to be leak free without any sealant. I've actually cut off flanges and replaced with OEM spherical joints to get a better seal.
Good to know. They used to be good, at least they had a good reputation a few years back.
