side effects of a WBO2 exhaust leak?
Like the title says, my exhaust is leaking prior to the wideband, i was afraid of breaking the bolts (like i already did), so i just snugged it and tac welded them in place After doing so, i notice a minor leak when feeling around the seems, it doesn't seem to terrible, just enough that i know it's there.
I searched and didn't find much, someone enlighten me a bit?

Can't really weld it, i welded the bolts to the downpipe because they kept coming out. 
I thought i had it sealed, welded it in place, started it again, air starts puffing out.

you're going to have to; contaminated exhaust doesn't respont linearly; it will be of more in some places than others; it makes tuning incredibly difficult to impossible. I had a small problem like that but fixed it.
good luck
