Exhaust leak help

[Blakonblak94]

Anyone have a remedy for leaky ball joints in our exhaust?

What's wrong . Are you sure the bolts are not bottoming out on the threads before getting fully tight. Are the flanges bent or anything making them not sit on the ball correctly. The ball and socket style is usually a nice fit and usually don't leak. I've seen people use high temp rtv on the ball and sockets for there exhaust numerous times

The two flanges from the catback to mid pipe are touching. I suppose the mid pipe flange somehow get pulled too far up the ball and won't sit as far back so it now leaks.
