Default crack on #1 cat. flange

so after i got my car up and running again, after switching out the clutch, i started her up and i heard a bad gas leak i couldnt find out where it was. untill 3 days later i put my hand across the exhaust manifold and *puffpuff* I felt huge puffs of gas comming out of top flange on the #1 cat. and boy was it a pain. so i took it out and welded it back up, heres some pics. and while under the hood i decided to do some dressing up with the cam cover. tell me what you think




yes, i replaced the bolt aha





im working on getting some new cams so the teaser can actually take effect haha

Good to hear your clutch is in! Sucks about the crack. I had the same thing happen to me. Only I waited too long to have it welded and I got pulled over for the excessive noise it was making.

my cat was making alot of annoying crackling noise so i chopped it out on my driveway and then went to the exhaust shop and played stupid like i didnt know what i was doing so they welded in a midpipe for me instead.
