Fixing an exhaust leak between R. precat/DP

[jstarr427]

Hey guys.. I got a 3sx DP a while ago and recently gutted my precats. after assembly It seems that I have an exhaust leak between the rear precat/dp. when I installed the DP I used all new OEM gaskets and the gasket was fine when I gutted the cats. My problem is I can't get the leak to go away. I've tightened the ever living shit out of the nuts holding the DP to the precat, but still I have a leak.

What's the name of the stuff you can use to seal small leaks? I'd like to be able to take it apart again If I need to..

Also, can I double gasket that connection? or will putting in more than 1 gasket make things worse? Is it possible that some how things aren't.. aligned?

just trying to see what my options are.. the leak isn't huge I just want it taken care of.

looks like we can help each other out

Ultra Copper High Temp RTV on both sides of the exhaust gaskets. That should seal it up nicely. Not really a good idea to double up gaskets because it's twice the possibility of a leak.
