Default TTI Headers SB #7 Tube

I got my TTI's the other day, and im sure most of you know the #7 tube is seperate from the rest of the header. My question is..... Will this tube seal its self after brake in, I cant see welding it, I would never be able to remove it if I had to.... Thanks..

For me it appears to be a snug-enough fit to where a leak isn't a problem.
I have considered putting some type of sealer or anti-sieze at the joint. But I don't know if that might create a hot spot and affect the coating limits.

Slip-fit joints are a fairly common feature in headers, when they heat up the metal expansion seals completely, when it cools it loosens up again. Nothing to worry about.
