i have two exhaust leaks on my hks. one on the passenger side where the test pipe connects to the h pipe, then another on the passenger side right where the muffler connects to that pipe that runs over the rear sway bar. everything has been done to try and fix it. i've loosened it up, tried moving the gasket aroud, loosening it up and just re-bolting it down. but nothing works. its not an awful leak, like a gap or anything, but when everything is bolted down tight, i can put my hand over the connection and feel air coming out.

is there any kind of sealant/bond i can buy to fix this? i really dont wanna get them welded together, so thats out of the question.

also, how big of a performance loss is this causing me? much at all? a ton?

thanks!

 

swap the gaskets out?

 

I wouldnt weld that.

 

New gasket imo would be your best option. Yes leak is bad and if i know where it comes from then i'd fix it

 

the gaskets are basically brand new. why would the gaskets be causing the problem?

 

could have been lined up slightly off and rattled itself out of place. check the gaskets and replace them if necessary.

 

slap some RTV in there as a gasket
