Just installed a catless dp today on my f10 535i. Install went pretty smooth, other than a leak I can't seem to get to seal up. The leak is coming from the union between the dp and midpipe. I tried reseating the midpipe multiple times, as well as trying every position for the band clamp. I have tightened the clamp as tight as it goes. It seems to be coming from where the midpipe is slotted to allow it to crimp over the dp.
Has anyone had a similar leak or know a solution to this? I want the option to change the dp again so I don't really want it welded on.
Let me know what you guys think.

What did you do to repair this. I have the same problem |
I installed the VRSF careless downpipe on my x6 35i and I have the exact problem. I went to an exhaust shop and he tried his best to shove the midpipe as far on the downpipe and placed a single weld to hold the position and it's still leaking. I'm thinking maybe if I heat the midpipe to a high temp where the metal is soft and seat it on the downpipe maybe it'll create a tighter seal?
