My ARH headers leak at the slip fit connection. The supplied clamps broke, so I tried the walker clamps....I think it actually made it worse. The smell comes right through the vents at idle. I was thinking of getting the accuseal clamps and putting ultra copper inside.
Mine did the same. I used a crap load of ultra copper and the flat clamps. It worked pretty good until I had them welded Not mine, but this is how I had mine done.

Thanks, my only concern with any sealant is putting it pre cat. I do not want it to break off and ruin the cat
Maybe if I don't over apply the RTV, it will be ok? I hate leaks, it is coming right into the car at idle and giving me a headache after a while. Why did ARH go slip fit?
If Kooks weren't so expensive, I'd sell these and buy them but man $1700+ for a new set of catted headers, no thanks.
Logged a cold start and the bank 1 trims were +25%. I must have a leak at or before the 02 bung, so I don't think the slip fit connection is causing this since it's fairly downstream from the 02.
The trims came back to normal once the headers heated up.
Any advice on sealing slip fit?
