As title really,

it's blowing round the join from centre section to backbox (on my mini), it has the original clamp which isnt broken but since it was removed by powerflow when they removed a restrictive kink it's been blowing. I've been back twice and both times come away with tons of paste which it blows through within 30 minutes..

Whats the best method to use ? Remove the exhaust, smear inside the joint re-join and retighten clamp ?

Any good products out there ?

Cheers

I was thinking this, but i would of thought a easier solution would be possibe as it's all standard system and nothing is corroded etc..

I want to try myself but can see me making it worse or failing miserably
