well, I think I found my exhaust leak...
 

Went through 3 sets of flange gaskets before I noticed this, lmao...

The final time I unbolted it, the flange part of the downpipe just drooped down hanging on by just a sliver of metal. Didn't even realize it the times before because all that was visible was a hairline crack on the top of the pipe that I thought was just a fold where the pipe was bent... until it fell apart of coarse. Welded it back together and it's just like new now!

... and I was soooo close to having the perfect excuse to get a full length header, lol.

That is exactly where I've had two of em break, luckily then I didn't know how to weld so I ended up with a couple nice headers :hillbill:

Even though I can weld now I'd still use that break as an excuse to buy a header but that's because I like to be fancy :drink:
