My slip fit on the turbo drive side of my 093 system will not stay sealed. I've tried all the different sealers I can find and none last more than a week tops. Has anybody used something that will seal this up?

The up pipe or the crossover pipe? I wire wheel and coat with nickel never seize on every donut and up pipe connection. This is basically like painting the surface with paint that wont rub or burn away. It keeps moisture out and the surfaces from rusting. If its your up pipe, theres not real sealing it. i tried the cermic stuff, didnt work. I just replaced mine a few weeks ago. What a difference. I used to see 1psi cruising 60-65mph 2psi at 75mph. Now i see 2 psi at 60mph, and 5-6psi at 75mph. Heres a video of my new up pipes vs old

Thats an outstanding idea'
I wonder how well it handles vibration?!
I pulled apart/rebuilt busted chimneys for a long year once.
Flue goo could MAYBE work( a little gritty) but the above comes in a -+2 oz tube not 20#

NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHING WILL SEAL THESE.

ANYTHING YOU TRY WILL FAIL.

these parts wallow out, and there only 1 fix.

my old up pipe's are like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.

The new ones seal, i think keeping them coated in 2400F never seize will keep them from rusting which is what makes them loose. I am not sure about v bands, you would nee a flex pipe some how, there's no way you will get the turbo and pedastal lined up perfectly together and keep them that way.
