yea, well my dumb ass bein in a hurry decided to take it for a spin after a few hours... it expanded rtv and appears to have maybe given it a better seal... exhaust leak is gone on crossover.. still have a small one in rear manifold area or maybe downpipe/ collector joint.

for mine theres is no RTV on the front crossover yet it doesnt leak.
No RTV on the back of the y pipe, doesnt leak.
Just RTV then tack welding at the other end. Still no leaks yet.
the RTV sat for maybe an hour before it was driven home. ~20 min drive.
