Exhaust leak on my 430..have a few questions
Ok so ive developed an exhaust leak right at the flanges of where the catalytic meet the y-pipe. What are my options on getting this fixed? Should i just get new flanges welded on? I dont think ive seen any aftermarket y-pipes for these cars so maybe get a custom one done? I lve put muffler cement in between before and it worked for a few months, but it came back the other day. Thanks for any suggestions

i was dealing with probably the same issue....i just got mine fixed the other day (partly because i was trying to hold off on fixing it till i changed my headers out and partly cause i was being lazy....so lazy i havent even updated that thread showing i fixed it lol).

i emailed Paul at PPE and ordered a flange/gasket/small section of pipe from him and had it installed, so far no issues
dont go aftermarket Jbrady swears 99% it will lose power BUT if you do i wanna buy your Y pipe so i can have one made by the only guy ever to make power from building one

SIGHHHHHHHHH spoke to soon, CEL on today.....going to my buddies shop so he can show me how to smoke test my car and im gonna see if i can find my leak. if no leaks the only thing it can be is the cats i think as ALL 4 of my O2 sensors are new
i mean i need to look over some hoses and stuff but otherwise not much left it can be if no leaks
