Default SLP Exhaust Leak...LT-Cat connection.

The leak is at the connector of the LT's and Cats. The logo is what is causing the leak, I have tried moving the clamp back and forth and twisted it in 4 different directions. Any solution to this besides welding. Any help please? Anyone have this problem?

if the logo is whats doing it i'd just grind the logo off... i have buddies that have the same set up as you and they didn't run into any problems with what your talking about... just double check everything... good luck

I was gonna mention you can more than likely move the cats back some, I have the entire SLP set up and I'm almost positive that I can see the whole SLP Logo on the bottom of the headers.

Yea, is the piping starting to get stuck together? Not like rust, but just grime and crap thats not letting them move?

I have about 6K on my exhaust set up and the bottom of my cats are orangish in color.

Yea, if you can get them to move, then you won't have a problem with the leak. SLP is really good in the fact that they give u a good amount of piping to play with between modular parts.
