downpipe/exhaust leak....some ideas
I have a small exhaust leak at the lower bolt hole on my 5-bolt downpipe. There is no bolt here b/c the turn off the flange is so close that it just won't fit. I thought of slotting the flange and running a stud and adding a nut, but there is prob. less than an 1/8" in that spot. Any ideas w/o building a new DP which is almost where I'm headed.

hey i dealt with my own same problem with is today. i got a hax saw and cut the bottom slot for the bolt close to half the thickness on the flange. then got a dremmel , smoothed everthing out so it would fit nice, and got the bolt and ground it down to about half a centimeter and it goes on real good. ill send u the pics of what i did tommorrow becuase its kind of confusing for me to explain it.

i had to do something similar to my bolts that go from the manifold to the turbo on my old setup.
