I have a slip on mgp pipe that goes over a custom midpipe. Now the bracket i have there kinda sucks since i've tightened it all the way but it still leaks. Any ideas what to do to make this stop leaking? Tightening it more is out of the question since i've tightened it so much that i actually snapped the bolt.

If it fails might just weld it...

I'll give that a shot. My solution worked for a single day...
