Default Shorty Header Collector Leak

I just installed a set of Hedman unequal length shorties with the stock H-pipe. I can't get the passenger side collector to seal without an exhaust leak. I've had it off 4 times now trying to make sure I tighten equally as I go. Any suggestions?

Use some Ultra Copper silicone sealant. It should always be used on header collectors for the best seal.. It is high temp rated.

Thanks for the help. I've sealed it up and re-installed. We'll see how this time goes.
