I'm assuming you are talking about mid pipe to header collector. Did you use the high temp RTV at the mid pipe flange? Passenger side was leaking for me toward wheel. I kept torqueing till I sealed it after letting RTV set up.

I had the same issue, on mine the bolts that came with the kit had to short of a thread and would bottom out before the collectors were tight. Swapped them out with bolts with a full thread and no more leak.

I also saw that the bolts didn't have enough thread. I tried the RTv trick and it worked, I hope that the RTV last and I for have to donut again

There is a few cases where the welds leak at the flange due to cracks on the JBA headers
