Default Question - Need help ASAP.. Borla + Test pipe owners, PLEASE READ.

I'm getting a loud whistle from my test pipes/exhaust. Can't figure out what it is. The pipes are connected tightly, clamps seem to be fine, but there is still a whistle.

I'm using the stock gaskets, should I have gotten any from borla? or with my test pipes? what can I do to find out where this whistle is coming from? form the sounds of it, seems to be from right under shifter, towards passanger side more.

Use some header wrap around the H pipe before you clamp it. The top of the H pipe leaks.

Yup, my H-pipe on my dual borla leaks too. I was going to have Midas throw on a nice weld bead, but I think the header-wrap is a good idea. I will try that. The exhaust leak sounds like a spudder, not a whistle, but it is driving me nuts.

So you guys think it's my H pipe which is leaking and not the test pipes?
