Craig,
 
I had all = the slip joints=20 leak on a TNIO-360 exhaust.  Pulled it off, sent it back to Lancair = and=20 they re-swaged them all.  Also the exhaust guys up in MN or = someplace=20 (think the actually make the exhaust for Lancair) that direction will = re-swage=20 the slipjoints.
 
Obviously = don't clamp a=20 joint that is suppose to slip, you'd be surprised at how much things = need to=20 move when they expand and contract and I've heard of exhausts breaking = just from=20 wrapping the slip joint and safety wiring the wrap too = tight.
