  • While its back at the shop to be adjusted for clearance I'm having them weld the slip joints - If you want to go cheaper, I'd recommend JB welding this area because the RTV just doesn't form a solid seal here

Fingers crossed that this adventure comes to a close after today. Its so damn hard to get these engines to sound good.
Slip joints are called that because they allow for movement of the pipes when the engine is thrashing around. That movement will now be eaten by another part of the car/exhaust.
