Dang I didn't even think about that. Thanks. I might need a x pipe because the h pipe I have is not wide enough to bolt on my headers. Idk what to do.

The exhaust shop can repair by cutting and welding on new flange ends......male or female ends. Cleaner. When you need to remove it again for clutch etc. No problems.

I might first try the x pipe and if my baby still has an exhaust leak then I will take a visit to the muffler shop. And plus I still need a custom catback till pipes still. Thanks for the advice everyone.

High temp black RTV works. Put a good amount around the rim of the midpipe cupplers, bolt it up, wait 24 hours and start it up. Worked for me and plenty of others. It may be rigged, but it works lol

That's one great idea bro. Thanks I will try it. How long does it work for? Like how many miles before the exhaust leak comes back?
