Default Side pipe exhaust leak

recently installed a set of patriot side pipes and have small leaks at the join on the side pipes. Where the large outer side pipe pushes on

Could someone advise me on what product to get to seal the leak?

Not looking to permanently join the pipes together, or should I?

thanks

No it's not a permanent fix, you tap it with hammer all around and break it and disconnect the pipes.
