I will let you know tomorrow, I decided to just let it sit today and cure, just to be safe lol. If It doesn’t work I’m gonna try and scrape off the RTV and try the Berk gaskets lol I am nervous. I got the copper stuff too. If it doesn’t work maybe the y pipe isn’t lined up properly too? I noticed there is play before bolting it down. And the flanges are a little bigger top to bottom then the cat flanges. It’s also kinda hard getting the motordyne adjusted right so the v clamps don’t leak and it doesn’t sit too low. I think that also affects the way the y pipe sits lol

Ok it is not leaking at the y pipes anymore. Haha I thought I saw some smoke coming out of the bottom for a second so hopefully it holds, I will keep an eye on it! Thanks for the help!! However, the rearmost passenger side v clamp is leaking condensation pretty bad even though I was absolutely sure I got a perfect seal on it this time. It was my 3rd time readjusting that one lol.
