I have Hedman Headers on my D1 and they utilize a ball/socket connection at the Y-pipe.
Like this: http://www.jegs.com/i/Hedman/500/69640/10002/-1?parentProductId=1422158#moreDetails
The ball & socket moves a little and they're leaking now.
Is there a gasket I can stick in there to seal it up better?
I used Copper RTV, but with the little movement its no longer sealed.
Can I use a clamp in addition to the flanges/bolts? Like this one? http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performance+Products/555/31924/10002/-1
I'm not really interested in reworking the entire exhaust so please don't tell me to do that.
Also, what are the best gasket to use at the engine with Headers? Just the stock ones? Does it help to double them up at all if I suspect leaking there?
