Who's Stillen B pipe leaks at the slip joint?
 
I was underneath my car and I discovered oh my lord, my slip joint for my B pipe was leakin like crazy. I seperated the 2 pieces once again, cleaned and lubed them down. Then I got a friend and we pushed the 2 pieces as far together as they would go to see if we could stop the leaking. I got it to the point it leaks minimally but there is still leakage. You can hear slight exhaust noises and whistling from the air. I then went to a local trucking company tried to buy a 2 1/4" doubble banded exhaust band clamp. They had 2" and 2.5" but no 2 1/4". I bought both sizes hoping one would fit but neither did, so I'll just get the 2 1/4" off of the internet. This should stop the leakage for good.

While I was at it I made sure the manifold, Y pipe, Cat, B pipe and Muffler connections werent leaking either.

Upon driving the car, it seemed to have picked up some power after I minimized the leak. Just wondering if anybody else has leakage problems.
