I already got some of them fool! Anyway, I got back under the car today and made it get 10 times better. I took the band clamp off, filled the whole area with copper rtv(I had it laying around), put a beer can around 3/4 of the pipe, then put the band clamp back on with a 1/4" air gun. After that, the leak didn't get much better. I then had someone stand outside of the car while I put a load on the drivetrain(linelocks ftw!) and we noticed that one of the header bolts on the passenger side all the way in the back wasn't torqued down all the way. I then tightened that and the leak got better. The car has always had a tick in the exhaust since I've owned it, so I guess I'll just have to live with the small tick it has now. It is much better than before though.
