Like Harold said, pipe threads are tapered so it's not unusual for a pipe to only go in half way before it gets tight. Since exhaust manifolds can get hot to the tune of 500 degres plus I don't think any kind of teflon tape or pipe dope would even begin to have a chance at those temps, besides with nothing but exhaust going through it at basically zero pressure you wouldn't need any kind of sealant anyway. After the two pieces are screwed together and run a few times and get hot and then a little moisture in them and eventually a little rust and exhaust crud your biggest concern is going to be ever getting them apart. So instead of a sealer give it a good dose of hi-temp antisieze compound. This will lubricate and reduce friction between the threads allowing you to get at least a litle tighter in the beginning, and make it ALOT easier to take apart in the future should you ever need to.
