    Why not replace the crappy ball joint things with V-bands? It won't necesarilly be cheap but you will keep the ability to remove them (if you can even put them in all welded together) and they will not leak. Or to make it easier you could weld the ball flanges shut and put in V-bands farther down. This shoulden't take an exhaust shop too long. Just another idea.

        Actually this would work (tried it before) just double up on the gasket and DON'T soak it in water, it will just come out crappy. Keep the thick and around the ball joint, should work really well if you do a good job. [img]smile.gif[/img]
