It seems there's very few screws, and they are radial screw holes, which usually doesn't provide for a good seal (certainly never did on my motorcycle exhausts, which were FMF and such, not el cheapo stuff).

Agreed, there must be something we are missing. Those little screws would not be able to hold it together and keep it from leaking. Hmm

Carbon just isnt good for exhaust components either...
