Permatex high temp copper sealant. It works, it seals, and NO problems removing later. Been there, done that!

+1 here too. I've found the best seal is to apply the sealant, attach the slip-on in the correct place and lightly tighten up. Wait 24 hours and then torque it up. This allows the sealant to cure some before it all "squishes" out from tightening. Makes a better seal IMO.
