Anyone have any tips/tricks on getting the slip joint to seal fully? I've tried the u-bolt clamps that came with the system, as well as Easyseal stainless band clamps. No

Leaky y-pipe slip joint on Stillen CBE.
Anyone have any tips/tricks on getting the slip joint to seal fully? I've tried the u-bolt clamps that came with the system, as well as Easyseal stainless band clamps. No matter how tight I torqued the bolts down, some air/water still leaked through the joint. My main issue is with the slip joint on the y-pipe. When the exhaust is cold I can feel a tiny bit of air pulsing through, as well as see a bit of water dripping from the joint. When the pipes heat up however, they expand and it seems to seal up. Other than getting the slip joint welded at a muffler shop, not sure what else to do.
