Are your link pipes for the Firestorm? You haven't got aftermarket sp ones?

Are there slots cut into the outer pipe? Is there a gasket in the outer pipe? And where is the clamp?

Not sure you got what I meant - on the end of the pipe are there slots on it like in the pic below - when a clamp is tightened over the slotted section these should seal the outer pipe onto the inner pipe.

Mmm Odd as without slots the outer pipe can't be tightened down onto the inner pipe If the allen jey bit thing is just wrapped around the outer pipe then it can't do what is says-on-the-box i.e clamp...

I know which part he means. Its the joint from the rear header to the collector that should have that self centered clamp on it.

You have a slot under the Allen key bolt .
If you want it tighter fitting I'd use a little packing cut out of a coke can then use firegum to seal it all up .

Mmmmmm cutting coke then wanting it tighter.....
Never tried the firegum though, for a bit of variety I tried Vick's Vapour Rub but it didn't go well, tbh.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
