Default Exhaust leak help

I have a lindsey 3" exhaust and as many others my waste gate dump tube is leaking were it meets the lindsey system (2 different size pipes). Does anyone have any fixes for this? I am about to get my car back on the road again and would love to have this fixed as well.

This is a little ambiguous ... If it's the short pipe leading into the wastegate, did you replace the seal rings?

I've found cleaning up the pipe flanges with a wire brush and throwing fresh hardware on with new seal rings helps. It won't stop that stupid pipe from cracking, but it will keep it sealed if it's intact.

Swagger, it is the dump pipe from the wastegate to the exhaust. The exhaust goes over the dump pipe and that is were it is leaking.
