Use better gum and a different technique for clamping the joints...

something is obviously wrong with the tube ends they could be 0.5 of a mm out and it will cause problems.

Take it down to sum1 like powerflow to see if they can weld the problamatic joins up or something - drastic but it might be a viable option?

if its magnex due to it being stainless stell you may need to get the joins TIG welded i did that to mine and i had no probs for the last 3 half years

only prob i had was the decat kept pulling out as there were no spring bolts on the manifold to allow the system to flex when the engine rocks under load

Na, De-cat is Magnex and System in Mongoose but there is that wee sleeve between them.

Might just get a custom one made up to get rid of that sleeve till i put the cat back in.
