slip tube leak

I have the Jet Hot longtubes on my car and the slip tube in the #1 primary leaks. Is there an easy way to fix this without welding it? I'd like to be able to remove them if necessary.

Take the pipe off and take it to a muffler shop and have them expand it just ever so little. Works like a charm. And no copper RTV will not burn off.
