Installed my MBRP race today and have driven then messed with it several times trying to get everything lined up and leak free.
For the life of me, I can not get the tail pipe/H pipe joint to seal properly. I've got the clamps tightened down very well, I think they are placed correctly (covering the relief slot, almost flush with the end of the outer pipe) but if I start the car cold and hold my hand around the joint I can feel it leak. Once the car idles down I can't feel the leak anymore but I'm not sure if that is because the RPM has dropped or because the pipes have expanded slightly and have sealed up.
Is this something that will seal itself over time after several warm up and cool down cycles, and once there is a slight amount of corrosion in the joint? Or is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.
