Did you seat the clamp at the edge of the muffler and use a torque wrench? I thought mine were tight untill I used the torque wrench. Probably got another 3/4 turn on them.

if it's the high temp permatex it should be good, as long as you give it time to cure. I've used it and it got the job done.

The instructions for my rinehart slip-ons said to use some high temp RTV to help seal them up. All came out well. I also torqued the muffler clamps to the specified torque.

I find the stock harley torca clamps are the best, the band clamps the aftermarket uses don't tighten as well IMHO.
